Legendary players will be in action at LLC

In contrast to the first edition, the second edition of LLC has four new franchise-based teams, and throughout the 12-match league round, they will face off twice. There will be 4 days of rest in between each game for the teams.

At the end of the league stage, the sides that finish in the top two places will compete in the qualifier on October 2 at Jodhpur's Barkatullah Khan Stadium, with the winning side moving directly to the championship game on October 5. The losing side in the qualifier will, however, have a second chance as they will face off against the third-placed team, in the league stage, on October 3 in an effort to secure a spot in the summit clash.

Six locations in India will host the competition. This season's four teams are Gujarat Giants, India Capitals, Bhilwara Kings, and Manipal Tigers. The Bhilwara Kings will be headed by all-rounder Irfan Pathan, while the Manipal Tigers will be captained by Harbhajan Singh, while the Giants and Capitals will be led by Sehwag and Gambhir respectively.
