According to Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s demo, Wild Mode is a more difficult version of the game that’ll reward players with more Coins than usual if they can overcome Forgotten Land’s challenges.

The same could not be said for the uncapped players. As the opening match of the IPL showed, in Mayank Markande’s three-wicketr haul, the tournament can provide great opportunities to uncapped players looking to kickstart their careers.
