He is a talented cricketer with tremendous potential, and his performances have already shown that he can shine at the highest level. His presence will further strengthen our squad and motivate the younger players in the team. The energy within the camp is fantastic, and we are preparing with only one goal in mind: to compete hard and make Ujjain and Indore proud in MPL 2026," said Vinayak Kalani.
Ujjain Falcons will begin their MPL T20 2026 campaign against Gwalior Cheetahs on June 3 at the iconic Holkar Stadium, Indore.

Honest question - why is a player who only played 3 IPL matches and took 4 wickets being called a 'rising star' so quickly? Let him prove himself over a full season first. Building hype too early can put pressure on young players. Just my two paise. 🤔
The jersey unveiling ceremony sounds grand! Ujjain Falcons have a solid mix of experience and youth in the squad. Names like Aryan Pandey and Yash Dubey are well-known in domestic circles. This MPL could be a game-changer for MP cricket. ��
Finally, proper domestic T20 leagues are coming up beyond just IPL. MPL will give local MP talent a platform to shine. Hope the stadium in Ujjain gets some upgrades too - Holkar Stadium in Indore is great but Ujjain deserves its own quality venue. 🙏
Impressive squad depth! I follow Indian domestic cricket and it's great to see names like Soham Patwardhan and Rishi Miglani in the mix. The MPL format is really helping to bridge the gap between local talent and the big stage. Wishing Madhav all the best! 🌟
Good luck to the lads! But I hope the MPL doesn't become just another money-making league. Need to see proper grassroots development and fair player contracts. Otherwise it's just IPL-lite with worse quality. Let's hope the administration gets it right this time. ✌️
