Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday inaugurated the Mumbai leg of Pro Kabaddi season 7 at NSCI Stadium and expressed his love for Kabaddi. The star cricketer, in his first public appearance since ICC World Cup 2019, had the spectators on their toes as he waved around NSCI Stadium. He sparkled the whole stadium by starting the things off with thigh-five, which has become a common step in Kabaddi.
In the inaugural ceremony, the modern-day batting great opened up on his connection with the Kabaddi. He said watching this sport that he played in childhood gives ‘a different feeling’
"Kabaddi has taken a leap in the sports culture in our country since the inception of the Pro Kabaddi League. Seeing a sport that we all have played as kids to get to this stature today gives a different feeling altogether especially when you know that the Indian kabaddi team is one of the best ones throughout the world.” Kohli said.
The Delhi-born cricketer also heaped praise for Pro Kabaddi and players for growing the culture of Kabaddi in India.
“Then seeing how players from all over the globe come to India to be a part of the Pro Kabaddi League shows that the level of the sport has been escalated exponentially. The reason kabaddi has become a world-recognized sport is due to the fitness and determination of the Indian kabaddi players.” He concluded.
Kohli will be soon seen back on the field as Team India starts post-World Cup season from August 2nd against West Indies at Florida.
