In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda ahead of Pro Kabaddi 2022, Tamil Thalaivas skipper Pawan Sehrawat shed light on his team’s preparations for the tournament.
When asked if the team’s raiding unit had become stronger with his arrival, Sehrawat said:
Tamil Thalaivas finished 11th in the points table last season with five wins, six ties and 11 losses from 22 matches. They played the highest number of tied matches among all 12 teams. Victories in those close games could have helped the Chennai-based franchise end the tournament a little higher in the standings.
To ensure that the team performs better in such situations, the coaches have been training the players for the crunch moments.
“They will have high hopes from me” – Pawan Sehrawat after earning ₹2.26 crore at the Pro Kabaddi 2022 Auction
Pawan Sehrawat further discussed how he felt after becoming the first player in PKL history to earn a contract worth more than ₹2 crore. While some would have thought of how to use that money, Sehrawat started focusing on his team’s composition straightaway.
It will be interesting to see if Tamil Thalaivas can make it to the Pro Kabaddi playoffs under Sehrawat’s captaincy.
