The franchise, formerly known as the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel, have a total of four CPL crowns, including the 2020 version, where they set the record for being the first team to win an unbeaten championship season.

The film features a number of people who were instrumental in the TKR's success, including co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, director Venky Mysore, captain Kieron Pollard and his predecessor Dwayne Bravo, the experienced trio of Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine and Darren Bravo, New Zealand's batsman Colin Munro, present coach Brendon McCullum, and West Indies women cricketer Karishma Ramharack.

The 2021 CPL will take place at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts from August 26 to September 15.
