The IPLs just came to an end and if you have been missing all the excitement, here’s hope. Amazon Prime Video is ready with its first Indian original Inside Edge. The web series revolves around Mumbai Mavericks, a T20 cricket franchise playing in the Powerplay League.
And you have it all here. The actor-owner of the team, the frustrated captain, the unscrupulous star player, the rookie and of course the “mastermind”. The trailer promises a lot of entertainment with a focus on that ghost of the game - betting. Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, Inside Edge boasts a powerful star cast - Vivek Oberoi, Richa Chadha, Sanjay Suri, Angad Bedi, Tanuj Virwani , Siddhanth Chaturvedi, Sarah Jane Dias, Amit Sial, Sayani Gupta and others.
Watch the trailer here:
By the look of it, Inside Edge has all the makings of a web potboiler. It remains to be seen if it manages to achieve any real insight into the politics of the game format. The episodes of season one will air on 10 July.
