Inside Edge has received positive critical reception and was nominated for Best Drama series at 46th International Emmy Awards.[2][3] The second season premiered on 6 December 2019.[4] The show was also been renewed for a third season that premiered on 3 December 2021.
Inside Edge is the story of the Mumbai Mavericks, a T20 cricket franchise playing in the Powerplay League. Set in a landscape of conflicting interests, where selfishness is almost a virtue, where money and power go hand in hand, the series traces the ups and downs in the Powerplay league as the Mumbai Mavericks face ownership problems along with accusations of match fixing.[5]
In the next edition of the PPL,[6] a volatile Vayu Raghavan leads the Mumbai Mavericks to face their biggest adversary yet, the Arvind Vashisht-led Haryana Hurricanes. But they must also counter colossal scandals that’ll rock the world of cricket. In the sport’s upper echelons, Zarina Malik allies with Bhaisaab, but those in the shadows threaten to destroy the very game they seek to control.[7]
In the third season, the series moves on towards international cricket, with Vayu competing against Indian captain Rohit. Meanwhile, Dhawan swears revenge on Bhaisaab, and uses his alliance with Zarina to accomplish it.
