Young players motivate me to get better: PKL veteran Sukesh Hegde

When
asked
about
what
keeps
him
going
in
the
kabaddi
circuit,
Hegde
said,
“I
have
been
playing
in
the
VIVO
Pro
Kabaddi
League
since
2014.
It’s
been
really
good
to
play
in
the
competition.
However,
there
are
a
lot
of
young
players
that
have
emerged
now
and
they
keep
motivating
me
to
get
better
as
a
player.”

Speaking
about
the
Pro
Kabaddi
League,
Hegde
said,
“The
kabaddi
players
around
the
country
have
got
a
stage
to
showcase
their
talent.
I
will
certainly
give
my
best
performance
for
whichever
team
picks
me
in
the
Auction.”

On
the
sidelines
of
the
69th
Senior
National
Kabaddi
Championship
2022,
Services
Sports
Control
Board’s
Arjun
Deshwal
also
shared
his
thoughts
about
his
VIVO
Pro
Kabaddi
season
in
2021-22.
The
raider
had
a
breakout
season
with
268
points
in
the
competition.

“I
gained
a
lot
of
self
confidence
in
the
last
season.
I
worked
very
hard
and
put
up
a
good
performance
in
the
season.
I
will
give
my
100
percent
in
the
next
season
as
well,”
said
Deshwal.

The
raider
added
that
constant
practice
has
helped
him
improve
his
game,
“After
VIVO
Pro
Kabaddi
League,
I
played
in
the
Inter-Services
competition
and
after
that
I
went
for
the
Services
camp.
With
constant
training,
I
have
been
able
to
improve
my
game.”

Season
9
of
the
VIVO
Pro
Kabaddi
League
player
auctions
will
be
held
