    The Rugby Premier League: As Chennai Bulls prepare to begin their Rugby Premier League (RPL) title defence, vice-captain Mohit Khatri believes the competition is playing a transformative role in Indian rugby by giving domestic players unprecedented exposure to some of the world's best athletes.

    The Rugby Premier League, the world's first franchise-based rugby sevens league, returns for its second season on June 16. Launched in 2025 with six city-based franchises, the tournament has expanded in 2026 with the addition of a women's competition featuring four teams.

    Defending champions Chennai Bulls enter the new season as one of the favourites once again. The franchise has assembled another star-studded squad led by Argentinian international Santiago Alvarez, who captained his country at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Indian rugby stalwart Mohit Khatri has been named vice-captain, forming part of a leadership group rich in experience at the national, state and franchise levels.
