The top four UKC contenders from the league round wil enter the knockouts -- semi-finals and then the finals.According to the rules of the tournament, a UKC contender while batting can gain runs only after they complete a physical run. Scoring is divided into six scoring zones: Zone A - 1 run, Zone B - 1 run, Zone C - 2 runs, Zone D - 3 runs, Zone E - with a bounce 4 runs, Zone E - direct 6 runs.However, if a batter, who hits the bullseye (behind the bowler), he scores 12 runs and will also gain an extra ball to play.

UKC is that evolution. This brand-new format is wonderful. It's what cricket it about. Player versus player. No distractions. One on one. It's exciting and it's the future of cricket that I know will strike a chord with viewers and fans," said Yuvraj in a media release shared by Star Sports."I am up for this challenge to be the best in the world and hope to emulate my 2007 T20 World Cup feat of six consecutive sixes in the UKC as well.
