New Delhi, April 12

BIG FM is set to bring back the second season of the campaign 'T20 Mahayodha' to coincide with the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

The 12-week sporting and trivia-based extravaganza will see listeners across the network's 58 stations test their cricketing knowledge. The competition will also give fans a chance for their teams to compete and bring glory to their city.

After the City Finale, the 'Yodhas' will move further for the 'Nationals', where 58 of them will go head-to-head against each other with one of them being crowned the ultimate winner at the Grand Finale of T20 Mahayodha Season 2.
