Men’s Hundred 2024 will soon enter its knockout phase. It is the premier T20 league of England, with eight franchises competing against each other in a unique 100-ball per innings format. In this tournament, there is no concept of an over, but bowlers can bowl in intervals of five balls.
Also, a unique rule in this tournament allows a bowler to bowl 10 balls on a trot as well. The maximum number of overs a bowler can bowl in this format is 20 balls per match. An interesting thing about The Hundred is that the men’s and women’s tournaments happen simultaneously with some club’s men and women teams competing against each other on same day.
While none of the active Indian cricketers are playing in Men’s Hundred 2024, the following Indian origin cricketers are playing under another nationality.
