The revamped Premier Badminton League (PBL) will begin today in Mumbai with hosts Mumbai Rockets taking on the Saina Nehwal-spearheaded Awadhe Warriors in the opening encounter. The League has been revived after a gap of two years following a successful inaugural Indian Badminton League in 2013. Besides Mumbai, other five franchisee participating are Delhi Acers, Hyderabad Hunters, Bengaluru Top Guns, Chennai Smashers, and Lucknow-based Awadhe Warriors. The second leg of the tournament, after its two-day stint in Mumbai, is to be held in Lucknow on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The winners will receive 3 crore rupees, the runners-up two crore rupees and the losing semifinalists will get 75 lakh rupees each. Organisers are going to experiment with a new concept – Trump match – that is expected to keep the interest till the end of a tie. A victory by the team that picked the particular game as its Trump will provide it with one extra point but a defeat will set it back by one point, and the intrigue generated by this new concept would keep the ties alive till the end.Malaysian veteran Lee Chong Wei was bagged by Hyderabad Hunters while World championship double bronze medallist PV Sindhu was snapped up by Chennai Smashers. Rising India star Kidambi Srikanth went to Bengaluru Top Guns whereas 2014 Commonwealth Games champion Parupalli Kashyap went to Hyderbad.
