I am overwhelmed with the fact that the saga alone witnessed more than 50,000 players in addition to the players who play regularly on Junglee Rummy," said Kapil. "It was a small town girl from Chhattisgarh, who had never participated in online rummy tournaments before, who shocked the entire nation by winning the qualifiers to become India's topmost Rummy player," he continued.

"RPL-I was a success on many parameters, be it player participation, or seamless performances of both our mobile and web platforms for all the tournaments. With over 450 Hours+ of tournament gameplay and people from all across India joining, RPL-I is yet another feather in the cap for us," said Bharat, the Head of Product Marketing at Junglee Games.
