Indian Softball Cricket League Rolls Out Fresh Season‑2 Jerseys in Delhi

On a breezy Saturday in New Delhi, the Indian Softball Cricket League (ISCL) finally pulled back the curtain on its brand‑new Season 2 jerseys. The launch felt a bit like a fashion show meets a cricket warm‑up, with bright colours, bold logos and a crowd that included a few familiar faces from both sport and cinema.

Chief guest Suresh Raina, the former India limited‑overs star, cut the ribbon and posed for photos – a treat for fans who know him for his quick‑fire batting. Actors Karishma Sharma and Shefali Bagga were also in the mix, adding a dash of Bollywood sparkle to the proceedings. Their presence reminded everyone that cricket, even in its softer‑ball incarnation, is as much about entertainment as it is about competition.

Speaking to the media, Gangadhar Raju – the founder of the Softball Cricket Foundation and a key driver behind ISCL – outlined why this jersey launch mattered. “Season 2 is more than just new kits; it’s our chance to push softball cricket into new towns, give players a proper stage and create a league that feels professional and inclusive,” he said. He went on to note that the schedule now features 127 matches, a figure that signals the league’s growing ambition.

Raina, ever the advocate for grassroots sport, chimed in with his own take. “Sport can bring people together, open doors for young talent and create opportunities beyond the boundary,” he remarked. “I’m glad to see ISCL taking the lead in expanding the cricketing landscape. I hope these new jerseys inspire the next generation to pick up a bat and chase their dreams.”

The tournament itself will unfold in Bengaluru from November 25 to December 30, 2026. Over those six weeks, 127 games will be contested by teams representing Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh and a few other regions, each hoping to make a mark on the emerging softball circuit.

All in all, the jersey launch was more than a sartorial affair – it signalled a fresh chapter for a league that wants to be taken seriously, both by fans and potential sponsors. With the new kits already sparking chatter on social media, the stage is set for what could be one of the most exciting seasons of softball cricket yet.
