Currently, the section features eight quiz contests and there are plans to add five more contests in the near future. The contests test the knowledge of users regarding players such as Brendon McCullum, Sourav Ganguly and Chris Gayle. There are also contests to test overall awareness about the team and its mascot, Hoog Lee. There are plans to launch video based contests as well. The contests will be updated on a daily basis.

Users can play and collect points over a period of time. They are also allowed to comment on the contests. The highest scorers will be awarded.
