Kabaddi, a sport deeply ingrained in Indian culture, took center stage on Independence Day as Pro Kabaddi League stars Pardeep Narwal and Maninder Singh graced the Mumbai Public School for a special flag hoisting ceremony.
The event, supported by Disney Star in collaboration with Yuva Unstoppable, celebrated the nation’s independence and the enduring legacy of kabaddi. After the ceremony, Narwal and Singh, renowned for their exceptional skills, engaged in a lively kabaddi session with the school’s team.
“Kabaddi is an integral part of India’s heritage,” said Narwal. “It’s heartening to witness the enthusiasm for the sport among the youth. Today’s ceremony has been a memorable experience.”
Singh echoed Narwal’s sentiments, emphasizing the widespread appeal of kabaddi. “Every corner of our country resonates with the passion for kabaddi,” he said. “The support we receive from fans fuels our motivation.”
The Pro Kabaddi League, a testament to the sport’s popularity, will hold its Season 11 Player Auction on August 15 and 16 in Mumbai. The event will feature India’s top kabaddi players vying for contracts with various teams.
