1 Million Dollar prize for UKC season 2
After the final, the chairman of UKC, Ravi Thakran, announced that season 2 would have prize money of whop♒ping 1 🅘million dollars.
“UKC is a revolutionary format where players will go one on one against the best in the world. We have received great feedback from the players and viewers alike. The format allows an action-packed contest without any rain delays, affected by pitch conditions, and has a shorter snappier format,” said Ravi as quoted by MovieTalkies.
“UKC is about growing the sport of cricket and given the short length of the tournament; we can host multiple tournaments without disturbing the current cricketing calendar. Season 2 will have more than six superstars vying to be declared the real champ in a one-on-one format as well as USD 1 million as the winner’s cheque,” he added.
