Mumbai is buzzing with anticipation as the All Stars Tennis Ball Cricket League Season 2 kicks off, promising six days of high-octane action from February 9 to 14 at Wings Ground in Bandra. Television heartthrob Arjun Bijlani, captain of the Mumbai Kings, is brimming with excitement ahead of the tournament.
In an exclusive chat, Arjun shared his team’s readiness and the fierce competition expected. ‘All ten teams are fully prepared this time. My Mumbai Kings is set to make a strong showing after finishing as runners-up last season,’ he enthused. Recalling past glories and near-misses, he noted how Pune clinched the title previously, with Delhi’s squad, led by the skilled Karan, emerging as a dark horse packed with talent.
Arjun’s passion for cricket runs deep, rooted in nostalgic childhood memories. ‘Cricket weaves unforgettable moments into our lives. We’d play gully cricket in buildings or streets, pooling pocket money for the winning team to splurge on vada pav feasts. Those building matches were the best—pure fun with friends,’ he reminisced fondly.
The league’s unique tennis ball format levels the playing field, blending celebrity flair with genuine sporting spirit. Fans can expect edge-of-the-seat matches as underdogs challenge favorites over the Valentine’s week extravaganza.
Recently seen judging the hilarious cooking showdown Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment Season 3, where Team Kanta triumphed over Team Churi in a nail-biting finale featuring stars like Krishna Abhishek and Kashmira Shah, Arjun seamlessly juggles entertainment and sports. Mumbai Kings aims to turn last year’s silver into gold this season, fueled by luck, hard work, and unyielding team spirit.
