Here we preview the upcoming games in brief, and how our One Family stars could play the ULTIMATE gamechangers for India.

India vs South Africa

Feb 22

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

Arguably the biggest TEST of the round, but also a BOX OFFICE hit! A top battle between BOOM BOOM and Quinton de Kock, followed by a jhakaas HP special under the Ahmedabad lights, could be the perfect Sunday treat for Indian cricket fans and also the MI Paltan.

India vs Zimbabwe

Feb 26

Chepauk, Chennai

A game of patience, strategy, and pure Aamchi grit awaits at Chepauk. With a “trial-by-spin” guaranteed, TV Tilak is expected to manipulate the field and find gaps with his pure kalakari. Don’t forget our former MI star Ishan Kishan, who carries the license to unleash some memorable chaabuk hits. This will be a special first IND vs ZIM on Indian soil.

India vs West Indies

Mar 1

Eden Gardens, Kolkata

The final hurdle of the Super 8s is expected to be a high-voltage affair. The mission is simple: Aapla Dada Surya needs to out-bat the Caribbean flair with his trademark supla shots and 360-degree range. When the Windies' muscle starts firing at the death, Bumrah’s razor-sharp yorkers will be our only antidote. Full paisa vasool entertainment guaranteed! ✈️
