The PWR DUPR India League, one of the top-tier Pickleball tournaments in the world, organised by Pickleball World Ranking (PWR) was officially flagged off in Mumbai last week. The league is not only expected to elevate India's presence in the international Pickleball community but also attract hundreds of participants, including international stars, along with Indian stars Arman Bhatia and Aditya Ruhela.

The PWR-DUPR India League and Tour was launched amidst great fervour at the ITC Grand Central in Mumbai. The grand event was graced by the likes of Andre Agassi, Rohan Bopanna, and former South African legend Jonty Rhodes. Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, also hailed the PWR-DUPR India League, calling it an essential step in promoting new sports - both nationally and globally.
