"Yes, of course, why not? Many players can come closer to that and how long can I play? There is Maninder (Singh), who has more than 1,200 points. A few others are also getting there. The future바카라 웹사이트of kabaddi is bright. So, I will try to score more raid points and be ahead of them until I play", said the바카라 웹사이트 Captain.

Pardeep Narwal hails from a sports background. His uncle was a kabaddi바카라 웹사이트player and the support from the family is immense. It is often considered that a player of such stature must be following a strict diet and schedule for workouts, but Pardeep denied all these claims.

"Fitness is very important. As sportspersons, we need to practice regularly, be it outside or in the gym. And in my diet, I like to eat normal homemade food. I don't eat anything fancy or special. I like to keep my food very simple with doodh and dahi (milk and curd). But yes, you have to do practice as well to digest all that", informed the kabaddi king.

Widely regarded as Dubki King and a record-breaker, Narwal has many nicknames given by fans and바카라 웹사이트commentators. On asked about these nicknames and labels, he smiled and answered, "I do dubki (an offensive raid skill), that's why they call me that. I hope there are no other reasons for that.

Kabaddi is a sport that requires strong hands, good reflexes and agility. Pardeep, being the captain of the UP Yoddhas team has a lot of responsibilities. When asked about workload management, he gave huge credit to his coach and the support staff.바카라 웹사이트

"We have all facilities available to us. We have a physio, trainer and massage specialist바카라 웹사이트in the team. A dietitian is also there. Everything is planned accordingly and every staff member knows their role. GMR Group and PKSV Sagar Ji have provided us with all the facilities바카라 웹사이트we need. Coaches play an important role in shaping us. They have also played kabaddi. They know better than us. They advise us when to rest, when to practice, and the dos and don'ts as well. That helps a lot for me and my workload management", the Dubki King told 바카라.

Pradeep is determined to take the UP Yoddhas to their maiden PKL title. The franchise바카라 웹사이트have included two Kenyan players (Helvic Wanjala and Samuel Wafula) in the squad. When asked for any specific reason for including just two foreign players in their squad, his response was straightforward.

"According to the rule, you have to take at least two foreign players. Thankfully, Indian players are doing very well. We believe바카라 웹사이트in our players. The foreign players will also get the opportunity after reading the match situations.바카라 웹사이트

We have made a good team this year. We endeavour to take the winning trophy to Uttar Pradesh", added Narwal.

Kabaddi players are easily prone to injury, considering the nature of the game. Pardeep is not immune to that. He agreed to have faced some minor injuries but denied any major injury from the sport.

Kabaddi has emerged as a popular sport in India. Sharing his opinion about the future of kabaddi in India, he believes that with each season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), the sport has gained more popularity and attracted a larger audience every year.

"Now, kids are often seen playing kabaddi in the fields. When I was a kid, I used to go to practice in a stadium. Now, there is a kabaddi academy in my village in Sonipat, Haryana. In this year's PKL, there are 4-5 players from my academy. Keeping that in mind, I can say the future of Indian kabaddi is bright", highlighted the star player.

The India바카라 웹사이트national men's kabaddi team recently won the gold medal in this year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. Pardeep Narwal was not part of the squad that clinched gold in China. On missing the opportunity, he blamed destiny and expressed his joy on the team바카라 웹사이트bagging gold at the continental showpiece, and also pledged to work harder.

Pardeep Narwal has high regard for his fellow state athlete and Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra. Narwal wishes to meet him in person soon and is very impressed by the javelin thrower's바카라 웹사이트accolades for the country.

"He has made the entire nation proud. We are all inspired by him. The level of glory he has brought to our country is unmatched. Although I have not yet met him, seeing an athlete from Haryana achieve so much fills us all with pride," Narwal said on Chopra.

When asked about the comparisons with players from different sports and if that put him under pressure to perform better, he played both aspects down.바카라 웹사이트

"I don't believe in comparisons. Kabaddi has바카라 웹사이트given me so much, there is no pressure in doing the thing that I love the most. Khiladi ko pressure lena hi nahi chahiye (A sportsperson should never be under pressure)", he signed off.
