Celebrity Cricket League – a flashback

Instituted by entrepreneur Vishnu Vardhan Induri in 2011, CCL began with 4 teams and eventually became 8 teams. The first two seasons were won by the Chennai Rinos, led by Arya, trumping Kiccha Sudeep’s Karnataka Bulldozers both times. By season 3, Sudeep guided his team to victory, and went on to defend the title the following year. Season 5 saw the emergence of the Telugu Warriors as a force to reckon. They won three editions on the trot, after which there were weather and pandemic disruptions a few years. 2023 was yet again the year of Akhil Akkineni’s Telugu Warriors, a streak that was broken in 2024, when Jisshu Sengupta’s Bengal Tigers finally took home the coveted cup.
