No one in the world could believe that a few years down the line India would rule the world of cricket. Almost a quarter century later came the Neil Armstrong moment of cricket.”
The film’s narrative will reportedly begin from 2007, when the said league started. It will narrate stories of glamour, controversies, scandals and high profile people involved.
