Cricket is not just a sport in India. It is emotion. It is a celebration. It is a festival that connects people. From big metros to small towns, cricket tournaments bring communities together. And when passion meets purpose, something special happens. The Arham Premier League 2026 Auction held at Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, was one such special moment.

A total of 230 players registered for the auction. Out of them, 205 players were sold to 14 teams. This is a tennis ball cricket tournament specially organized for the Jain community. Considering that the Jain population in India is around 0.40%, the scale and response of APL is nothing short of inspiring.
The tournament will begin on February 22, and the grand final will be played on March 7 at the City Stadium, Sagar. This is the fifth edition of APL. For the first time ever, an auction system was introduced to form the teams. The excitement was visible on every face present at the venue.
Every team selected at least 14 players. All squads look balanced. And honestly, predicting the winner right now is almost impossible.
The 14 Teams Of APL 2026
The teams participating in this edition are:
- Vardhaman Blaster
- Arham Shree Amaron
- Nirman Mighty Dhurandhar
- Samayoday Dharma Kings
- Chhaya Arrivals
- Gurukripa Blasters
- Rising Badkul Stars
- Mahaveer Super Lions
- Anukampa Avengers
- Bade Baba XI
- Forever XI
- Aadi Classic Avengers
- Samanvay
- Jain Warriors
Each team has carefully built its squad through the auction. Some went aggressive. Some went strategic. But everyone had a plan.
Arham Premier League Motive Is More Than Cricket
Recently, we discussed with Sanjay Jain (Sanju) from the organizing committee. He shared the deeper purpose behind APL. He told us that the Arham Premier League and the Arham group work as a bridge called Sahyog Setu between different Jain people and the Jinalayas.
Sanjay Jain said,
“The purpose of the Arham Premier League is to bring the Jain community closer. There are many small towns and villages where the Jain community is less in number due to migration to big cities. The temples over there do not have a source of income. In most places, there are no security arrangements and even a shortage of materials used in the temples. In some places, there are no proper roads connected to the temples, even no sign board, and also some temples also need renovation.”
He further added,
“We, Arham Group, have information related to the maintenance of Jinalayas from many such villages. The work of such temples is done through Sahyog Setu. It is a four-step process.”
- Survey
- Propaganda
- Construction
- Village temple worship
Sanjay Jain said,
“Sahyog Setu Yojana has been made for work in phases. Every donation is important. As every donation is being used for the protection work of one or the other village Jain temple. The entire Arham group requests you to donate whatever amount you want because it is a matter of protection and renovation of the village Jain temples. We collect your donation and provide the same to those temples and complete the work there.”
APL is not just a cricket tournament. It is a movement. It connects sport with service.
Tournament Format And Schedule
The tournament will be played at the City Stadium, Sagar. It will follow a round robin format. Each team will play four random teams. The top eight teams will qualify for the Quarter Finals. Then the semi-finals. And finally, the grand finale. Every match will be of 12 overs. It is a night tournament. And there will be three matches every day. The atmosphere under lights is expected to be electric.
Highest Sold Players At APL 2026 Auction
The auction had some intense bidding wars.
Four players were sold at the highest price bracket of Rs 30000:
- Sanjay Jain (Sanju)
- Adarsh Jain from Garhakota
- Sanket Jain Honey
- Harsh Jain Gungun
- Among other top buys:
- Harsh Jain from Banda – Rs 29000
- Aman Jain from Bilhera – Rs 23000
- Pravisht Jain Adi – Rs 20000
- Mayank Jain Sheru – Rs 15000
- Pranjal Jain Badshah – Rs 13000
There was a three-way tie for Sanket Jain Honey. Aadi Classic Avengers, Anukampa Avengers, and Mahaveer Super Lions all wanted him in their squad. Finally, Aadi Classic Avengers won him through the chit system.
Moments like these made the auction dramatic and memorable.
