Captain of the winning team, IGN Gladiators, Aryaveer Agarwal says, “This tournament is was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to lead a team. Staring from many days earlier, all the way from choosing my vice captains and auctioning my players, the excitement built up till the very end, including the pressure that came with matches. We all wanted to go out there and do our best to win but o never made any strategy, all I told to my team was to give it their all. At the end when it all came to down to the last putt but it wouldn’t be possible without my team. The win brought me great joy, especially the fact that everyone said we had no chance. Helping my teammates and celebrating with them was a lot of fun and I know forward to the next season“.
