The esteemed encounter was held at the historic Sharjah Cricket Ground, and the match was surely an action-packed affair. The likes of popular Indian cinema personalities like Bobby Deol, Riteish Deshmukh, Sharad Kelkar, Suniel Shetty, and Kiccha Sudeep also marked their presence for the game.

After a thrilling opening contest, Day 2 will turn out to be a Super Saturday, with Bhojpuri Dabanggs vs Telugu Warriors and Karnataka Bulldozers vs Mumbai Heroes being the two games. The first game will be played at 2 pm IST, followed by the second game at 6.30 pm IST.

“When we started in the first year, I never thought that we will see 10 years. The simple reason was that they were not competing against each other. Our Mumbai team was not competing but the south teams were so competitive and then Bhojpuri came in and then Kolkata came in, and we had no choice but to compete with them,” Bollywood superstar Salman Khan said in an interview to JioCinema.

“At home for us, it is like World Cup or IPL because Sohail is here and dad watches it so all the matches that are played, we watch them quite seriously. Dad gets really upset when he sees that our team has messed up. We watch this very seriously and also take it very seriously,” Salman added.
