The inaugural edition of the Global Power Cricket League (GPCL) T20 has taken the sporting world by storm. The tournament is currently being held in Delhi’s Yamuna Sports Complex Cricket Ground.
Marquee international cricketers from different countries are taking part in the GPCL T20. There is a high quality of cricket on display, with players sporting colourful jerseys matching their team name and country’s colour.
In a first of its kind, the eight participating teams are picking players of Indian origin in their playing XI while also maintaining an average of 25, thereby, catering to the Indian diaspora global youth cricketers.
Power Sportz – the organizer and official broadcaster of GPCL T20 – is covering the matches to perfection with HD cameras capturing different skillsets, emotions, celebrations and showing aesthetic graphics to the fans.
The tournament has generated so much interest in its very first year that former India opener and East Delhi MP Gautam Gambhir on Thursday (October 6) tweeted about it.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Gambhir shared pictures from the GPCL T20 matches and wrote, “I promise to DELIVER! World level players & matches at Yamuna Sports Complex….#EastDelhi” in the caption.
Notably, Gambhir has played a key role in building the Yamuna Sports Complex Cricket Ground being an elected MP from East Delhi. It was his desire to conduct a world-class tournament at this venue and Power Sportz has fulfilled it by organizing the Global Power Cricket League.
Talking about the GPCL T20, the eight participating teams have been divided into two groups. Indian Sapphires, English Reds, Scottish Mulberries, and American Indigos feature in Pool A whereas Australian Golds, South African Emeralds, Sri Lankan Violets, and Irish Olives are part of Pool B.
