PBL will be exciting, says Gopichand
PBL\'s second edition is all set to start from January 2 with a clash between Awadhe Warriors, spearheaded by Saina Nehwal and Mumbai Rockets here.
Mumbai : Indian badminton national team chief coach Pullela Gopichand on Wednesday said the new rule of 'Trump Match', introduced in the second edition of Premier Badminton League (PBL), will make the tournament an exciting one for both players and fans.
PBL's second edition is all set to start from January 2 with a clash between Awadhe Warriors, spearheaded by Saina Nehwal and Mumbai Rockets here.
A team winning the 'Trump Match', after selecting one of the five matches in a tie, would fetch them a bonus point (+2) and a negative point (-1) in case of defeat.
“It's a great addition to the league to ensure that the excitement remains till the end of the tie. Each team has to nominate a trump match from among five matches. Teams have to finalise their line-up one and a half hours before the tie. At that time they have to mention which will be their trump match,” Gopichand said.
