Gymkhana Premier League Season 3 Teams and Captains

Before we dive into the Auction process, let’s take a look at the teams participating. Their respective captains led the teams, and were responsible for creating their dream teams. The teams and their captains are:

• Wolf Lobers – Sahil Mittal (C)
• Falcon Servers – Dipin (C)
• Giraffe Netters – Madhusudan (C)
• Dolphin Dropshots – Pradeep (C)
• Tiger Smashers – Varun Garg (C)
• Hippo Backhands – Sidharth Suri (C)
• Panther Racketeers – Varun Bhatia (C)
• Gorilla Volleyers – Aaryan (C)
• Cheetah Swingers – Ranjit (C)
• Eagle Aces – Vatsal (C)

Each captain had a different idea for building their team, and it was interesting to see how they would navigate the auction.

The Auction Procedure

The Auction was simple but fun. Each Captain was assigned a random number, who in turn selected tennis players for their team based on that number. This was repeated until all players were transferred to the team. The twist was that each captain had only one chance to pick a player from the number allotted to him. This added some formality to the auction, as captains had to carefully consider which players they wanted to select and when. 

The Auction Begins

They rushed out of the auction, as each captain eagerly awaited their turn to select a player. The first few matches saw some interesting nominations, as the captains picked the best players from different teams. While one team captain made a bold move by picking a star player in the first round, another captain opted for a more balanced approach by picking a mixture of players. 

As the auction progressed, the captains began to develop a more creative approach. They started to focus on filling a specific position or role on their team rather than selecting players based solely on their individual skills. While a team’s captain made a wise move by picking players to complement each other well, whereas another took a more defensive approach by picking players who could infuse his team’s defense. 

Strategies and Surprises

Throughout the auction, there were many different trails and puzzles that caught everyone’s attention. One surprising move was made by the captain, who picked a complete stranger late on. That player became a hidden gem, eventually becoming one of the best players on the team.

Another strategy that worked well for some teams was to draft players who were undervalued on the market. The captains did this successfully by picking a few players who were overlooked by other teams.

The Final Outcomes

After a lot of intense bidding, the auction was finally concluded. Every team had been a dream team and it was time to see how they would perform on the field.

The finals were fantastic, with each team having unique and awesome players. Few teams looked strong on paper, with a mix of experienced players and young talent. Few teams had put up a strong defense while few had assembled a strong attacking line-up.

Teams had taken an unconventional approach, opting for a mix of players who could adapt to different conditions. While it was initially unclear how they would react, it was clear that they had built a team capable of upsetting their opponents.

Conclusion

The GPL S3 Virtual Auction was an exciting event that showcased the skills and strategies of each team captain. The auction process was exciting and unpredictable, with captains making bold moves and taking calculated risks throughout.

Eventually, each team emerged with a unique and formidable line-up, setting the stage for a formidable battle in the GPL S3 League with Tenniskhelo. Looking forward to the tennis tournament, we can’t wait to see how these teams perform on the field. 

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – GPL S3 will be an interesting competition!
