IPL 2016, Extraaa Innings show revamp: Shibani Dandekar, Archana Vijaya out; Rochelle Rao, Pallavi Sharda in

New Delhi: In a major revamp by Sony Pictures Network, Rochelle Rao and Pallavi Sharda were on Tuesday named leads for the Extraaa Innings T20 show.

Extraaa Innings is a very popular pre-match show of the television channel, which broadcasts the India Premier League.

While the male presenters Gaurav Kapoor and Samir Kochar have been retained, fans will not get to see Shibhani Dandekar and Archana Vijaya on the show this season.

While Rochelle has been part of the IPL coverage before, Pallavi will feature on the show for the very first time.

Pallavi's last big project in India was a mainstream Bollywood film opposite superstar Ranbir Kapoor.
