Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), the largest Sportainment event in the nation, is back and better than ever. The two main sources of entertainment in our nation are sports and movies, and CCL is a special fusion of both.

Teams from 8 different regions of India will compete in this season's competition, giving it a national presence. Six cities, including Raipur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jodhpur, Trivandrum, and Jaipur, will host 19 games. The coveted CCL Cup will be up for grabs between the following teams:

With over 120 film celebrities involved in the league, this season is anticipated to be quite exciting for the spectators. Stadiums like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai have witnessed full attendance in previous seasons, and the present trend implies that comparable audiences are anticipated at other locations.
