As a true fan, you should be familiar with the essential abilities of kabaddi. However, in kabaddi, athleticism alone isn’t enough players must have unique abilities to separate out from the crowd. Another important factor that helps players overcome difficult periods in kabaddi is fitness.

Young people who aim to be the next Rahul Chaudhari or Pardeep Narwal see Kabaddi players as idols and heroes.Ī world-class kabaddi player has an agile physique, a smart intellect, a fearless mentality, and a keen eye for detail. The beauty of this sport is that it necessitates a certain set of abilities in order to perform well, regardless of whether it is played on a mat or in the dirt. PKL gave Kabaddi the much-needed oomph factor.Kabaddi, our own indigenous sport, has gone a long way since the Pro Kabaddi League’s start, thanks to the worldwide support of our supporters. We had a good run in season 5, and even made it to the play-offs! By this time, Kabaddi became the second-most watched sport in the country. In season 5, I was bought byPuneriPaltan, where I had the opportunity to be with some of the best Kabaddi talents in the country like Sandeep Narwal, Dharmaraj Cheralathan, Rajesh Mondal and Deepak Hooda. I also represented India in the 2018 Asian games. Donning the Indian jersey for the first time was a dream come true.

I started practising harder and harder, and when it was time for Kabaddi masters in 2018, I made it to the national team. I was disappointed, but did not lose hope.

In 2016, I was selected for the Kabaddi World Cup 2016 camp, but unfortunately, I could not make it to the final twelve. With each passing season, PKL became a household name, and Kabaddi players in the country got due recognition for the immense talent they possessed. Simultaneously, I was roped in to Bengal Warriors and played with them for season 3 and season 4 of PKL. It was in season 3, when Bengal Warriors’ coach- Pratap Shetty took notice of my skills and offered me a job with my current employer Bharat Petroleum (BPCL). Pro Kabaddi League packed it in a way, which made it appealing to the masses across metros and rural areas as well! PKL became a great platform for all the undiscovered Kabaddi stars to showcase their talent. Everyone in the country knows about Kabaddi, they have also played it in their childhood, but they never took it seriously. As the years progressed, I could see Kabaddi’s popularity soaring.
