Haryana바카라s boys asserted their dominance in kabaddi once again, powering past Maharashtra 39바카라28 in the U-18 final at the Khelo India Youth Games held at Bihar Sports University on Thursday. (More Sports News)
Roared on by a lively crowd, the reigning champions were led by captain Jai Hind Lather, who trains at the Sports Authority of India바카라s National Centre of Excellence (NCOE) in Gandhinagar.
Raiders Prince Dahiya, Ishant, and Nikhil were standouts for Haryana, repeatedly breaking through Maharashtra바카라s defence and racking up crucial points.
Their title defence began with a commanding 58바카라31 win over Karnataka, followed by solid victories against Andhra Pradesh (37바카라28) and Chhattisgarh (55바카라30). In a tense semifinal, they edged past Rajasthan 40바카라38 to book their place in the final.
Haryana바카라s kabaddi strength draws heavily from the influence of the Pro Kabaddi League, where the state바카라s players feature prominently across franchises. Captain Jai Hind credited his inspiration to Haryana legends like Pardeep Narwal, Deepak Niwas Hooda, Mohit Chhillar, and Monu Goyat.
바카라We바카라ve grown up watching these players earn fame and bring glory to India,바카라 Jai Hind told Media. 바카라Their journey gives us hope. Platforms like Khelo India are helping athletes like me take that big leap.바카라
The 18-year-old comes from Lajwana village in Jind, where his father, Bijender Lather Jaglan, is a farmer. Since June 2023, Jai Hind has been honing his skills at the Gandhinagar NCOE. 바카라We get everything we need 바카라 coaching, training, kits, lodging, all for free. It lets us focus completely on our game.바카라
Another rising star from the Haryana squad is 17-year-old Nikhil Gulia from Gudsam village in Panipat. Training at SAI Jaipur since April 2024, Nikhil dreams of donning the India jersey and starring in the Pro Kabaddi League. 바카라Watching legends like Pardeep Narwal and Rahul Chaudhari made me want to pursue kabaddi seriously,바카라 said Nikhil, who was also part of the U-19 SGFI gold medal-winning team last year.
Head coach Narinder Rana highlighted how Haryana바카라s dominance in contact sports like boxing and wrestling has now extended into kabaddi, thanks to structured support systems and the visibility provided by Pro Kabaddi.
바카라Haryana바카라s sports policies are unique and effective. Over half of India바카라s national kabaddi players come from here,바카라 he said. 바카라The combined efforts of the Haryana government, SAI, and Khelo India have created a strong pipeline for talent.바카라
바카라Each PKL team has multiple players from our state. That바카라s a testament to the ecosystem we바카라ve built,바카라 Rana added.
With success stories stacking up and dreams growing bigger, Haryana바카라s kabaddi machine shows no signs of slowing down. It is just getting better.
