When will the CCL 2025 Celebrity Cricket League begin? Karnataka Bulldozers are ready to fight in the arena. Who is in the team?

The opening match will be played in Bengaluru. The Karnataka Bulldozers will be led by Abhinaya Chakravarthy Kichcha Sudeep and will be supported by Ashok Kheny as the team owner. Karnataka Bulldozers, who finished runners-up last time, will be looking to win the cup this time. Golden Star Ganesh, who missed last time, has joined the team. The countdown for CCL season 11 has begun and a press conference was held in Bengaluru yesterday. Kichcha Sudeep, CCL organiser Vishnu Indori and Karnataka Bulldozers captain Ashok Kheny were present on the occasion. Karnataka Bulldozers captain Sudeep said, "It is very difficult to conduct the CCL. It's a journey where four teams started together. We played our first match against Mumbai at the same ground. There was a wonderful atmosphere that day. We were all playing on a small ground. The ground will be full by that day. Playing in front of so many people. That day I realised what fear was. It was a wonderful gift it gave us... We were not associated with different languages of the film industry. There was no bridge. But the connection was made by CCL, he said. Ashok Kheny said, "Congratulations on the success of Max. Karnataka Bulldozers have won the cup four times. We are confident of winning the cup this time," he said. Vishnu Induri, organiser of CCL, said, "It has been 11 years since the CCL started. This is the 11th season. When the first tournament was held in Bengaluru, it was recorded by the highest number of people. The Karnataka Bulldozers team is close to my heart.
