Rajasthan Royals, a team in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has revealed that they are teaming up with the Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) to host the 3rd National Physical Disability T20 Cricket Championship. This exciting tournament will take place in Udaipur, Rajasthan, from September 28 to October 8.
This event is made possible with the support of the charitable organization Narayan Seva Sansthan.

The 24 State teams will be grouped into four sets of six teams each. The top teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, and the winners will compete in an exciting final match. Teams will have the opportunity to win cash prizes, with the ultimate champions receiving a prestigious rolling trophy.
