A Beacon of Professionalism

Justice Mudgal’s role will be crucial in ensuring that the league adheres to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and integrity.

His illustrious background, coupled with committee members Hockey Legend Aslam Sher Khan and Arjuna Awardee Sushma Golwalkar, instills confidence in the Ethics and Governance Committee (EGC). The EGC will oversee the maintenance of high standards for the game and monitor issues related to governance, anti-corruption, anti-doping, and more.

A Spectacular Showcase of Talent

Season 2 of the Ultimate Kho Kho, which commenced in Cuttack on December 24, 2023, and will run until January 13, 2024, promises a spectacular showcase of exceptional talent and thrilling matches. With Justice Mukul Mudgal’s guidance, the league reaffirms its commitment to ethical and governance principles.

In response to his appointment, Justice Mudgal expressed his enthusiasm: “I look forward to actively contributing to the development of ethical standards and governance protocols of Ultimate Kho Kho, enhancing fair play. I am committed to making significant contributions to formulating principled norms, ultimately raising the league’s standing. It’s a dynamic game which needs to be characterized by fair play.”

Tenzing Niyogi, Ultimate Kho Kho CEO and League Commissioner, shared insights into the formation of the EGC, stating, “Our objective is to ensure fair play while maintaining the highest level of integrity. With experienced, responsible, and objective committee members such as Justice Mukul Mudgal, we have tremendous confidence in the league’s future success.”

An Exciting Contest Ahead

The second edition of the league will see six teams – Chennai Quick Guns, Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Khiladis, Odisha Juggernauts, Rajasthan Warriors, and Telugu Yoddhas – backed by top Indian corporate and sports investors, compete for the coveted crown. A total of 145 players from across the country will showcase their skills at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Cuttack, with the final set to be played on January 13, 2024.

Sports enthusiasts can catch all the live action on Sony Sports Network’s channels or stream it on Sony LIV.
