The Entertainers Cricket League (ECL) 2025 is back with an even bigger and more exciting edition after a successful debut in 2024. Featuring India's top social media influencers and content creators, this high-energy tournament promises thrilling action at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Delhi.
With three new teams added, eight franchises—Bangalore Bashers, Mumbai Disruptors, Chennai Smashers, Dynamic Delhi, Haryanvi Hunters, Kolkata Superstars, Lucknow Lions, and Rajasthan Rangers will feature in this season. Having said all this, what what truly sets this league apart are its innovative rules adding a fresh twist to the game. So in this article, let's take a look at the innovative and impressive rules for ECL 2025.
T10 Format
The first and foremost rule is that the matches of ECL 2025 are played in the T10 format, which is a short form of cricket. In this format, two teams compete in a single innings, with each side limited to a maximum of ten overs (60 legal balls). The entire game typically lasts around 90 minutes, making it a fast-paced and exciting experience for both players and fans.
Tennis-Ball Cricket
The second important rule of this tournament is that all matches are played with a tennis ball, which offers a unique twist to the traditional format. Tennis ball cricket is a version of the game where a tennis ball replaces the hard cricket ball.
This change makes the game more accessible and enjoyable, as tennis balls are easier to handle and significantly reduce the risk of injuries compared to their harder counterparts.
Fast Paced Format
The third important rule of this tournament is that all matches will compete in a round-robin format, culminating in a four-team playoff. The tournament will feature 32 fast-paced matches, each lasting 90 minutes, ensuring non-stop entertainment.
