In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda ahead of Pro Kabaddi 2022, the league’s most expensive player Pawan Sehrawat explained how he motivates himself in life and gains inspiration from the cricketers.
Describing the way Hardik Pandya made a comeback from being banned for his controversial comments on a talk show in 2018/19 and suffering a severe injury to lifting the IPL trophy as Gujarat Titans captain this year, Pawan said:
Pawan praised Hardik Pandya’s mental strength and added that any other player would have retired from cricket in his situation. He continued:
Pawan Sehrawat had almost quit kabaddi once
While Pawan spoke about Hardik Pandya’s inspirational journey, his own rise to the top has been a motivational one. After failing to make an impact in his first few Pro Kabaddi seasons, Pawan made up his mind to retire from the sport.
However, things changed when Bengaluru Bulls coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat signed him before season six and helped him realize his full potential. Pawan guided Bengaluru to their first championship that year and became the number one raider of the tournament.
In the last three seasons, Pawan has topped the raiders’ leaderboard. Courtesy of his splendid showing, the Hi-Flier earned a record ₹2.26 crore contract from the Tamil Thalaivas this year.
The Thalaivas will start their PKL 2022 campaign on October 8 against the Gujarat Giants. It will be exciting to see how Pawan Sehrawat performs for his new franchise.
