The third season of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL) – Saudi Arabia concluded recently, bringing together 15 teams from across the region in a competitive display of cricketing skill and teamwork.

JK Strikers lifted the trophy after a series of closely contested matches, while CFC Suralpady finished as runners-up. Both teams were praised for their consistent performances and discipline throughout the tournament.

The KPL, launched in 2023, has grown into a key sporting event for the Karnataka community in Saudi Arabia. The tournament is managed by a 25-member organizing committee that has been credited for maintaining its professional standards and community focus.

Afwan, who has been a central figure in the organizing committee since its inception, played a major role in leading this season’s efforts. His coordination and leadership were appreciated by players and fellow organizers. Committee members Rehman, Asif, Afnan, and Nasir were also part of the core team that handled planning, logistics, and execution of the tournament.

Over the years, KPL has expanded its reach, with Season 3 introducing improved organization and live coverage through the M9Sports YouTube channel, enabling supporters worldwide to follow the matches.

The organizing committee extended its gratitude to sponsors, supporters, and well-wishers who contributed to the event’s success.

With the completion of Season 3, KPL continues to serve as a platform that promotes cricket and strengthens ties among members of the Karnataka community in Saudi Arabia.

Chennai (PTI): VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday said that his party received a request from TVK for support and the high-level committee of his party will decide whether to support the Vijay-led party to form the government.

The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly and emerged as the single largest party. Vijay will have to resign from one of the two constituencies he has won.

Though the Congress party, which has five MLAs, has extended support to TVK, the actor-politician-led party was still short of as many seats to touch the magic number of 118, the majority mark in the 234-member House.

"We received the request letter from TVK. We are thankful for that. We have not ignored his (Vijay's) request. We have a procedure. Therefore, our party's high-level committee will decide soon. We are going to discuss the merits and demerits of our position," the VCK leader told reporters here.

With regard to the delay in the governor's call to the TVK, which is the single largest party, to form the government, Thirumavalavan requested the governor to invite Vijay to form the government. "It is a constitutional right and people's verdict," he added.

Asserting that the governor cannot say that Vijay should hold 118 MLAs' support now itself to form the government, he said that after taking over power, Vijay has to prove an absolute majority only on the floor of the Assembly.
