This show will be a limited-edition version stretched over five days. Each episode will be referred to as a ‘match' and the rounds as ‘overs.' The selected contestants will be divided into 4 teams. The starting ‘over' will be about cricket in general. The second one expects the players to identify cricketing personalities. The third will be based on cricketing records and in the fourth, the team selects a cricket star and faces questions relating to him. The final over will be a celebrity over hosted by a prominent cricketer. The player who has played the best game of the day will be given to the man of the match award.

After the players juggle the six ‘overs,' the total scores of each innings will be tallied and the team that gets caught on the back foot with the lowest score will be eliminated, and the other three will pass on to the semi-finals. The finals will be a clash between the best two teams. Prizes will be awarded to the winners and the man of the series who has the best ‘batting' average.
