Restaurant Cricket League Season 4 Aims for Hunger Free Bharat
A big cricket tournament called the Restaurant Cricket League, or RCL, is coming back for its fourth season.
The tournament was announced in Mumbai and will be played in New Delhi in October.
This cricket league has a very special goal: to help feed people who don't have enough food.
The league's rule is '10 Runs = 100 Meals'.
That means every time a team scores 10 runs, 100 meals will be given to people in need.
Many different teams will play, including the Indian Women's Deaf Cricket Team, farmers, chefs, and even Delhi Police.
An actor named Rakesh Bedi will be the captain of one team.
The league also wants people to stop wasting food.
Instead of throwing extra food away, the organizers say food should reach a plate, not a landfill.
So every run scored in this tournament will help put food on someone's table.
RCL – Restaurant Cricket League announced Season 4 at a press conference in Mumbai on August 18.
Season 4 will be held in New Delhi in October, with teams including transpersons, the Indian Women's Deaf Cricket Team, farmers, influencers, chefs, Delhi Police, Delhi Public School Indirapuram and a Nepal team led by Chef Ratna Tamang.
Under the '10 Runs = 100 Meals' initiative, every 10 runs scored will contribute towards 100 nutritious meals for underprivileged people.
Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi will captain the RCL Superstars XI, while actor Vindu Dara Singh and former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan backed the cause.
The league's Hunger Free Bharat mission seeks to combat hunger and food wastage and encourage responsible food consumption.
