CCL 2025: The Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) is an exhibition cricket league in India where film actors from different Indian film industries participate. The league consists of eight teams, each representing different regions of India. The tournament follows a round-robin format where each team plays four matches in the league stage, and the top four teams advance to the semifinals.
CCL rules
Unlike traditional T20 matches, CCL matches are played in four innings, with each team getting two innings of 10 overs each. The team that wins the toss decides whether to bat or bowl first, and the chasing team then gets a chance to chase the target. In CCL, this rule was first introduced back in the 2023 edition.
