Our team is united; we support one another, enjoy our time together, and function as a cohesive unit. Everyone is dedicated and hardworking.”
In a match against Sonu from the Jaipur Veers, Sachin shattered the all-time Pro Panja League record across both seasons by achieving the fastest pin at an incredible 0.10 seconds. He commented on this achievement, “This season has been remarkable for me, especially with the record-setting pin of my opponent in just 0.1 seconds, but the primary goal is to propel MP Hathodas to the finals. Currently, we are focused on tactical practice, which is significantly enhancing our performance.”
Team captain Tridip Medhi echoed similar sentiments, stating, “MP Hathodas is a well-rounded team, and as captain, my objective is to guide them to the finals. Everyone is putting in the effort with daily practice, and I have faith that our hard work will yield results.”
Tridip also emphasized the transformative impact of the Pro Panja League on the Indian arm-wrestling landscape. “The Pro Panja League has elevated arm-wrestling to unprecedented heights. Young athletes are now motivated to pursue the sport, discovering new opportunities through this platform. I have been competing since 2009, clinched seven national titles, and represented India at five world championships. However, witnessing the emergence of new talent inspired by athletes like Sachin excites me the most. The future of Indian arm-wrestling is incredibly promising,” he explained.
With Sachin’s fierce prowess and Tridip’s leadership, MP Hathodas is on a winning streak, buoyed by their devoted fans in Gwalior as they aim for a semi-final and beyond. The Semi-Finals are scheduled for August 20, with the Grand Finale of Season 2 set for August 21.
