GPL REVIEW

 The GPL (Gnanam Premier League) is also known as the Girls Premier League. There are a total of four teams participating: Chola Knight Riders, Maratha Royals, Sengipatti Super Singhams, and Delta Dare Devils. Each team has two owners and one captain. Player selection happens through an auction, and players are divided into three categories: Platinum, Gold, and Silver. The GPL is held for one week at the Gnanam School of Business playground.

My favourite player is Vijay because of his excellent fielding skills. Thank you!
