It will feature 19 high-intensity matches that will be played between six teams – Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar. The tournament will take place in Mumbai from March 2 to March 9.

Sharing a snap in which he can be seen donning an orange jersey with the number nine and his name on its back, he wrote, “Jammu aur Kashmir ki galiyon se stadium tak, aao apni zindagi badli jaaye! Proud to co-own the Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir) team of the @ispl_t10 Behad mazaa aane wala hai!”
