Mankol's hat-trick in Kabaddi! That's dominance. These village tournaments are the real breeding ground for future stars. Hope scouts are watching. The scoreline 38-26 shows it was a proper contest, not a walkover.

Great initiative, but a small suggestion for the organizers: Please try to get some live streaming for the finals on the 30th. Many of us from Sanand are now working in other cities and would love to support our villages remotely!
