RPL emerged like a mini-fest for all the sports-lovers of the institute. Owing to lack of time due to regular classes, many matches were scheduled at 6 am in the morning. The spirit of the tournament was such that the players as well as fans used to wake up early in the morning despite their busy schedules. Late night studies and project submissions did not hold any one back.
Being an initiative by management students, it was delightful to watch how wonderfully the whole tournament was organized in a constrained setting. Eight teams participated in the tournament- The Fight Club, Hurricane Hunters, Mahan Cricket Dal, Dhurandar Dabang, Swasthik Maniacs and Berserkers United. The teams were divided into two pools out of which the semi-finalists were selected to compete against each other. The brand ambassadors upheld the flags of their respective teams while each team strived to establish a strong brand and to gather a loyal fan following. Updates of each match were posted on a dedicated Facebook page rightfully named Dharmyuddh! The teams seemed like clans branching out of a religion that unites many- Cricket!
Team Berserkers United emerged as the winner while team Dhurandar Dabang was the runner up. Both the teams displayed excellence throughout the tournament. Not all teams could win obviously, but all agreed that RPL was a great way to break the monotony that sets in for students juggling classes, presentations and projects as a part of their daily routine. RPL was just another example of how students make sure that life at IIM Ranchi is never drab!
