1st Edition of the Rising Champions League (RCL) concluded today with great success at IG Park, Itanagar Sponsored by Suraj Tayam. The tournament created wonderful memories and gave young cricketers a platform to showcase their talent. Snow Panthers emerged as the proud winners, lifting the champions trophy of this inaugural edition. Individual brilliance also shined through, with Kokam Techi Tayam getting emerging player of the tournament award, Subham Chaudhary receiving the award for the highest run-scorer, while Varun Gatwar claimed both the highest wicket-taker award and the prestigious Man of the Series title.
What made this tournament truly special was its unique focus on the Under-14 and Under-16 age categories. The vision behind this initiative was to provide a strong foundation for budding cricketers at a young age. By nurturing their skills early, we not only strengthen the base of cricket in our state but also prepare these young players to become the pillars of our future teams.
Such initiatives are more than just competitions; they spark passion, discipline, and determination in young hearts. They create excitement for cricket among children and encourage them to dream big. At the same time, engaging in sports helps them channel their energy positively, steering them away from unwanted practices Suraj Tayem asserted
The Rising Champions League is not only about trophies and awards—it is about inspiring a generation, building character, and laying the groundwork for a brighter cricketing future in our state. This tournament will always be remembered as the first step towards nurturing tomorrow’s champions.
