The ‘Parsa Super League’ (PSL) Season 2.0 cricket tournament is being organized in Gram Panchayat Parsa with the objective of providing a competitive platform for rural youth to showcase their sporting talent. The tournament commenced on November 4 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Sports Ground in Parsa. Held under the joint auspices of Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) and the Yuva Cricket Club of Gram Panchayat Parsa, the tournament will run from November 4 to November 20, 2026, featuring 14 teams from the region.
The Parsa Super League was first launched in 2025. While the inaugural season saw 8 teams participate, the number has grown to 14 this year. A total of 196 players from 25 villages are taking part, reflecting the growing enthusiasm for sports in the rural area.
A key highlight of the tournament is its structure, which is modeled after the Indian Premier League (IPL). Players were selected through an auction process, in which 14 team owners bid for and selected players for their respective squads. This provides local players with an opportunity to showcase their talent while gaining an experience similar to that of professional cricket tournaments. This IPL-style model, implemented in a rural setting, is being viewed as a novel and progressive initiative. A total of 14 teams are participating in the tournament, including Gondwana Strike Force, Black Diamond, Sarpanch 11, Champion 11, Nayak Warriors, Prem Nagar Warriors, Priyansh 11 Jodhpur, Mafia 11 Binkara, Wicket Warriors, Black Panthers, GV Star 11, Yogi 11, and Bull Champs. Live scoring for the matches is being provided via the ‘CricHeroes’ platform, allowing players and sports enthusiasts to follow the tournament online.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by several public representatives and prominent citizens, including Cluster Head Mr. Manikchandra Bala, HR Head Mr. Pawan Ojha (both from RRVUNL), the PEKB Mines Manager, Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Parsa Mr. Tulsi Manohar Uike, Deputy Sarpanch Mr. Umashankar Yadav, and former Deputy Sarpanch Mr. Ganesh Yadav.
Approximately 500 sports enthusiasts and villagers were present at the ground during the opening match. Arrangements have been made for the players, including the provision of jerseys, professional umpiring, trophies, and other necessary sporting infrastructure. Shields will be awarded to the winning and runner-up teams. Additionally, individual awards—such as ‘Man of the Match,’ ‘Best Batsman,’ and ‘Best Bowler’—will be presented.
Young athletes from the Gram Panchayat, sports-loving villagers, and employees of ARPL were also present on the occasion. The players participated with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of sportsmanship. This event provides an opportunity for the youth to develop discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills, while also fostering a sporting culture within the rural area.
The organizers have appealed to sports enthusiasts and local residents to visit the Shaheed Veer Narayan Sports Ground in Parsa by November 20th to cheer for the players and help make the tournament a success. This initiative is proving to be a meaningful step toward recognizing rural talent and raising awareness about sports.
