This endeavour resonates with JetSynthesys' core values of supporting local talent, nurturing aspirations, and building a vibrant sports ecosystem. While we capture over 60% of the market for simulated mobile cricket games in India, MPL was the perfect way to put our first step in mainstream cricket. We look forward for a long-standing association with the Maharashtra Cricket Association and are eager to witness a league of pure sportsmanship.”   

The Jets also bid for and grabbed the second most expensive player Divyang Hinganekar who is an all-rounder and regional superstar Nikhil Naik in their roster along with Azim Kazi.
