While I appreciate the initiative, I hope the focus remains on developing grassroots infrastructure and not just celebrity endorsements. Real change happens at the district level.

This is exactly what Indian sports needs - private leagues with celebrity backing. Cricket got IPL, now archery gets APL. Hope we see more Olympic medals coming our way! 💪
