Abhishek Bachchan, known for his deep involvement in sports, has extended his support towards popularising lesser-followed sports in India. His latest venture into rugby is being seen as a promising step towards diversifying the Indian sports landscape.
The first-ever edition of the GMR Rugby Premier League (GMR RPL) kicks off on June 15, 2025, in Mumbai. The tournament will showcase the high-energy Rugby Sevens format, structured into four quarters of four minutes each. A total of six franchise teams will participate, featuring a dynamic blend of Indian talent and international players.
