Adding to the excitement are the Power Play rules, injecting further thrill into the game. The bowling Power Play spans balls 1 to 24, while the batting Power Play can be taken anytime after the 60th ball. Moreover, Strategic Time-Outs provide teams with strategic breathing spaces, scheduled at the end of the 48th ball, with provisions for an early timeout if a wicket falls between the 42nd and 48th ball.
Seven teams will compete for the coveted trophy, with each boasting an impressive lineup of retired cricketing legends. From the Candy Samp Army featuring Aaron Finch to the Rajasthan Kings led by Robin Uthappa, the tournament promises iconic match-ups and fierce rivalries. Players like Suresh Raina, Shahid Afridi, and Harbhajan Singh are expected to shine, showcasing their skills in this innovative format.
