Gurgaon's corporate employees were in for an unusual sight when Gurgaon Commissioner of Police Sandeep Khirwar picked up the bat and played the first over in a month-long cricket tournament that started recently. The tournament - Eastman Premier League (EPL) - was started by an energy storage and solar solutions company in an endeavour to promote camaraderie and common purpose amongst employees. Launched this week, the tournament is on the lines of the much-celebrated IPL series.

Khirwar said, "This is a unique and noble initiative that will encourage team-building among employees and drive work-life balance. Cricket as a sport also promotes discipline among players."
