Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 ended with a bang on Sunday, May 21, with Mumbai Indians crowned as the champions in a last-over thriller against Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS). Now, with the lucrative cricket league over for the calendar year, it's time for other top sports league competitions like Pro Kabaddi League and Indian Super League to take over.
But wait, we have a debutante!
Poker Sports League (PSL) India is making an entry into the huge Indian sports league market. The prize money in the competition may not reach the standard of the IPL winners' prize money of Rs 15 crore, but nevertheless, for a start, it is huge.
A host of entrepreneurs have come forward to support Poker Sports League.
All you need to know:
When is it?
PSL India is scheduled for a May 24 (Wednesday) start in Goa's most revered casino, the Deltin Royale.
What is the winners' prize money?
When it comes to poker, the sky is not the limit! The total prize money of the competition is Rs 3.3 crore.
