Is Telugu Titans Captain Vijay Malik Confident About Their Strength This Season?

New Delhi, Aug 19 (NationPress) As excitement rises for Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12, Telugu Titans captain Vijay Malik emphasized the team’s preparations, claiming they are more formidable than numerous teams in the league.

During a Media Day event hosted by JioStar, both Vijay and coach Krishan Kumar Hooda discussed the team's dynamics, ambitions, and the significant changes that PKL has brought to Indian kabaddi.

"Our team resembles a family. There’s no hierarchy; we regard one another as brothers. Our coach acts as a parent, carefully guiding us with discipline. This bond manifests in our coordination on the mat. Everyone is in peak fitness, driven, and training diligently. That’s why I believe we are stronger than many teams this season," stated Vijay.

Krishan Kumar Hooda expressed his views on the team's readiness for the season. "With utmost confidence, I assert that our team is incredibly strong, and this will be evident in the upcoming season. We are fully equipped for PKL Season 12. All previous minor errors have been rectified, and we are determined to showcase our best performance. I am certain our fans will be thrilled with our displays this season. I firmly believe this season will be remarkable for us, and the team is primed for excellence. Our preparation has been exceptional. All players are fit, injury-free, and mentally resilient. From every perspective, the team is in outstanding shape, without any concerns. You will soon witness the fruits of this preparation in our matches."

Regarding the impact of PKL on kabaddi, he remarked, "Kabaddi has revolutionized everything – the trajectories of players, their lives, and even their families. Improvements are evident. Nowadays, every parent hopes their child plays kabaddi, and there's a clear reason for that. They witness the team’s beautiful play, and players' financial situations have significantly improved. Athletes now enjoy annual earnings, showcasing tremendous progress. Since the inception of Pro Kabaddi, everything has transformed. Credit goes to franchise owners, the commissioner overseeing the league, players who participate with discipline, and the coaching and support staff. Their collective hard work deserves recognition."

"Since the league's commencement, kabaddi has undergone a complete transformation. Previously, with only Indian coaches, we lacked physios or trainers. But now, thanks to the league, we have access to all necessary resources. All players, franchises, and league officials deserve full credit for this advancement."

"All new players have emerged as stars. We never anticipated such a surge in fresh talent. Vijay (captain Vijay Malik) played for a year, and in the next two or three years, many newcomers have risen to stardom. Some had to spend time on the bench, demonstrating patience, learning, and eventually delivering impressive performances. They have brought pride to the nation through their achievements. This league offers a fantastic platform for new players – there’s no better stage for them. Many players enter in their first year, display their talents, and initially remain unknown. However, they eventually become renowned, even gaining international recognition. The Pro Kabaddi League is the premier arena for budding athletes," he concluded.
