They said they were looking forward to a new version of their game – which has seen a series of innovations with the format with the UAE-based T10 League emerging as the shortest form so far.

Chris Gayle, easily the most sought after batsman in white ball cricket of this generation said “I can’t wait to have a practice run. “It’s a new and exciting format and it’s growth depends on how we start the first edition,” said Yuvraj, the only batsman to hit six sixes in an over in a World Cup when he took England’s Stuart Broad to the cleaners in the inaugural World T20 in 2007.

For cricket fans, the event is a better version of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Match-ups will be between two cricketers for a contest of 30 balls per player. If a player gets dismissed for a total of five times, his innings is considered to be over while each match will be determined by more number of runs scored.

The match balls were displayed at the press conference, they will be lighter than normal balls at 130oz. Each day, the matches will continue for two hours and will have a sizeable presence of Bollywood quotient as well with stars and dance numbers.
