The Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) is entering its seventh year and the tournament is all set to begin from the 24th of December with six teams participating.  However the Chennai Rhinos team has recieved a huge blow as two of its superstars Vikranth and Vishnu Vishal have announced their withdrawal.

Both Vikranth and Vishnu Vishal have been instrumental in Chennai Rhinos winning the first two editions and have been the most favorite of fans of the league for delivering extraordinary batting and bowling skills every time they walked on to the park..

I am opting out of #ChennaiRhinos this year @ccl ...had to choose self respect over emotions..i apologise to #ChennaiRhinos fans n cricket lovers..best wishes to my team..big hug to my friend @vikranth_offl for standing by me n CRICKET :)#selfrespect #friendsforlife
