The Story in Brief
India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav has been named brand ambassador for the fourth season of the Pro Govinda League (PGL), India's first professional human-pyramid league. The event will be held at The Dome, SVP Stadium in Mumbai from August 25-27.
rediff.com reports the league now includes 16 teams and over 3,200 registered players. Viewership has grown from 7 lakh in its debut season to over 75 lakh in the third edition last year. In 2025, PGL set a Guinness World Record for the tallest human pyramid at 10 levels.
The Indian Opinion
Celebrity endorsements can put traditional sports on a national stage, but the real test is whether the league grows its own fanbase beyond the star power. The narrative that Dahi Handi is being commercialised ignores PGL's focus on athlete welfare and structured competition. Can Suryakumar's involvement push viewership past the 75-lakh mark this season?
