But the eyes will be on the third clash of the edition on the very next day, in the afternoon at the Arun Jaitley, where South Delhi Superstarz will take on the East Delhi Riders.

The focus of attraction will be on Aryaveer Kohli, who is Virat Kohli’s nephew. He will feature for the South Delhi side. He wants to be a lethal leg spinner for the national side in the future and is under the guidance of the former Indian players and the current Delhi coach, Sarandeep Singh. Aryaveer is the son of Virat’s elder brother, Vikas.
