As someone from Rohtak, I'm so proud. Our state's players have given so much to Indian sports. This tour is a fitting tribute. Hope they have good engagement activities for school children along with the trophy display.

Great initiative, but I hope the league management ensures this isn't just a PR stunt. The real test is sustaining interest and providing a platform for local talent beyond the first season. The PKL set a high bar.

Good to see Sonipat getting the finale. It has produced some legendary players. A small suggestion: they should live-stream the trophy tour events for fans who can't be there in person. Would build more hype online.
