Interesting choices. Ankur is talented, but I wonder if a more experienced player from the squad should have been given the captaincy? Hope the pressure doesn't affect his game. The fan event in Mumbai looked like a lot of fun though!

The squad looks powerful on paper! Jagannath Sarkar and Krishna Satpute are big names in tennis ball cricket. The ₹1 lakh bonus is a great incentive. Hope they start the season with a win against Kolkata. All the best Singams!

As a new follower of ISPL, this is exciting! Love the direct engagement with fans. The financial rewards for performance are a smart way to motivate players. Looking forward to seeing this team play in Surat.

Solid team. But the real test is on the street pitch! Tennis ball cricket is a different beast. Players like Satpute are legends there. The management's "motivation" cash prize is a good touch. Jai Maharashtra! 🚀

Respectfully, I feel the article focuses too much on the announcements and not enough on the actual player strengths or team strategy for Season 3. The leadership news is good, but how will they use players like Sarfaraz Khan? That's what fans want to know.
