On this edition of the Celebrity Cricket League, the fixtures, unfortunately, do not bring the stars to Bengaluru or Chennai, with matches to be held in Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Thiruvananthapuram and Vizag only. After the inaugural weekend in Sharjah, all the teams will be in Hyderabad next week, with the Telugu Warriors, Karnataka Bulldozers and Chennai Rhinos having two matches each. While there is live telecast of each match on multiple platforms, there is no denying the charm of watching the action amid crowds at the stadium.
Should you be interested in heading to Hyderabad for the Celebrity Cricket League, there are 6 matches over March 1, 2 and 3, with 2 in a day, starting at 2 pm at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Tickets for different stands are available to be bought online on Ticketgenie. A ticket to the West or East Pavillion on the first floor costs Rs 99 and allows one access to both matches of the day. The West or East Pavillion on ground floor is Rs 199 per ticket, North Pavillion (First Floor ) Rs 299, South Pavillion (First Floor) and North Pavillion (Ground Floor) Rs 399, while South Pavillion (Ground Floor) is Rs 499. Online ticket rates mentioned are exclusive of taxes.
The matches that one can see in Hyderabad include Chennai Rhinos vs Bhojpuri Dabanggs and Telugu Warriors vs Punjab De Sher on March 1, Karnataka Bulldozers vs Bengal Tigers and Telugu Warriors vs Kerala Strikers on March 2 and Mumbai Heroes vs Bhojpuri Dabanggs and Karnataka Bulldozers vs Chennai Rhinos on March 3. Match timings are 2 pm to 6 pm and 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm. The coming weekend is crucial for the Kerala Strikers, who have already lost 2 of their 4 Group Stage matches, another loss and they will be eliminated from the tournament.
If a trip to Hyderabad is not on your cards, the following weekend is split between fixtures in Chandigarh and Thiruvananthapuram, with the Qualifiers and Finale to be held between March 15 and 17 in Vizag.
