df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['Geeks', 'Peter', 'James', 'Jack', 'Lisa'],
                   'Team': ['Boston', 'Boston', 'Boston', 'Chele', 'Barse'],
                   'Position': ['PG', 'PG', 'UG', 'PG', 'UG'],
                   'Number': [3, 4, 7, 11, 5],
                   'Age': [33, 25, 34, 35, 28],
                   'Height': ['6-2', '6-4', '5-9', '6-1', '5-8'],
                   'Weight': [89, 79, 113, 78, 84],
                   'College': ['MIT', 'MIT', 'MIT', 'Stanford', 'Stanford'],
                   'Salary': [99999, 99994, 89999, 78889, 87779]},
                   index =['ind1', 'ind2', 'ind3', 'ind4', 'ind5'])
print(df, "\n")
  
print("Check PG values in Position column:\n")
df1 = df['Position'].str.contains("PG")
print(df1)

But this result doesn’t seem very helpful, as it returns the bool values with the index. Let’s see if we can do something better.
