Chennai Bulls’ Sandhya Hopes Rugby Premier League Inspires Next Generation Of Girls From Rural India
The Rugby Premier League: From a tea garden in West Bengal to becoming one of the most recognisable faces in Indian women's rugby, Sandhya Rai's journey has built on resilience, family support and an unwavering belief in the opportunities the sport can create. As the Rugby Premier League (RPL) prepares to launch its second season and introduce a women's competition for the first time, Rai hopes the tournament's visibility will inspire young girls from small towns and rural communities to dream bigger.
The Rugby Premier League, an initiative of Rugby India spearheaded by Rahul Bose, is the world's first franchise-based rugby sevens league. Founded in 2024 to boost the growth and popularity of rugby sevens, the competition debuted in 2025 with six city-based men's teams. The 2026 edition marks a significant milestone with the addition of a women's tournament featuring four teams.
Despite her achievements, Sandhya believes many people misunderstand the financial realities faced by rugby players in India.
