This year's extraaa innings T20 will be co-hosted by actor Karishma Kotak and Femina Miss India International 2012, Rochelle Maria Rao. They will take the audience through the hits and misses of the game without missing any of the facts, analyses and trivia associated with the forthcoming Pepsi IPL 2013 extravaganza.
Neeraj Vyas, Business Head, Max, said, “extraaa innings T20 has always been a thrilling entity that brings in-depth cricket analysis to fans in the most entertaining way.

They are not only accomplished presenters but also passionate cricket buffs and will take us through the high octane action of the Pepsi IPL 2013.”
A delighted Rochelle Maria Rao said, “I have been a big fan of the league since its inception. Being a part of this huge tournament has always been my dream.

The countdown to Pepsi IPL and extraaa innings T20 has begun and I am really looking forward to being a part of this this electrifying atmosphere”.
Karishma Kotak added, “Cricket is very close to every Indian's heart including mine.

I am definitely looking forward to hosting EI T20 and the opportunity to interact with so many cricketing stalwarts and experts on the show.”
Max will present in-depth analyses of the game from the extraaa innings T20 studio with an expert panel which includes cricket stalwarts like Navjot Singh Sidhu with his unique 'Siddhuisms', Sunil Gavaskar, Ajay Jadega, Harsha Bhogle, Rameez Raja, Isa Guha and, for the very first time on EI, the inimitable Kapil Dev.
The extraaa innings T20 studio this year will be larger-than-life and the design will strive to recreate the theatrical atmosphere that one associates with a cricket stadium.
