The player quotes show such a great mindset. Harsh talking about aggressive discipline and Milan Dahiya emphasizing teamwork - that's what separates good teams from champions. Rooting for the Gurus to get their first win, they sound hungry!

Excited for the double header! But a small suggestion for the league organizers - the match timings are a bit late for families with kids. An earlier first match on weekends would be great. Otherwise, fantastic to see kabaddi thriving like this. Jai Haryana!

Hisar Heroes need to be careful. Karnal is on a roll and momentum is a real thing in sports. But Ashu Malik is right, these matches test character. If Hisar's defence holds strong in the first 10 minutes, they can break Karnal's streak. 50-50 match for me.

Rohtak Royals' "organised defense" vs Gurugram's "fearless kabaddi" - what a contrast in styles! This is why I love this sport. Sanjay Dhull sounds determined, but Rohtak's composure might be too much. Expecting a low-scoring, tactical battle in that second game.

The real winner is kabaddi and Haryana! Sports University in Rai is a world-class facility. Hope the stands are packed. These local leagues are so important for discovering the next Rahul Chaudhari or Pawan Sehrawat. All the best to all four teams! 🙏
