The league can be followed on Viu as well as on YouTube. It is going to witness 12 exhilarating matches as four teams go head to head in a bid to win the first of its kind coveted trophy.

The likes of Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, VVS Laxman and Harbhajan Singh will be leading the respective sides. Many renowned international cricketers such as Brendon McCullum, Andrew Symonds, Chris Lynn, Herschelle Gibbs, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Andre Russell will also be taking part in the contest. A lot of exciting action is expected especially with the big names involved.

“19 years since my international debut, a special moment for every athlete. Excited to debut again in blue jersey with @virendersehwag & @RealShubmanGill #iBCricketSuperOverLeague. The best is yet to come. Watch on Viu, 15th March! @playiBCricket @viu_IN @viudesi”
