He has bought the top player in the men's list Jeevan who is currently India No 4 in the men's doubles and Pranjala who is currently India No 2 in the women's Singles for his team. He has managed to build a very strong team and Punjab Bulls seems to have a good chance of winning the League. When asked about this new venture he replied " I am a tennis lover and play the game very often, when Kunal & Mrunal shared this initiative with me of how this league will help promote tennis in India, I was sure that I wanted to be a part of this League and give the Top Players of our country such a great platform."

The League founded by Kunal Thakkur & Mrunal Jain is scheduled this December and is happening under the auspices of the All India Tennis Association and the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association. All the top players of the country have confirmed their participation in this League.
