In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Pawan Sehrawat in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is the most expensive kabaddi player in the pro kabaddi league and the captain of the Indian kabaddi team.
In this episode, we talked about his childhood, how he got into kabaddi, the initial bullying that he faced in the kabaddi team, his coach’s role in his life for not leaving kabaddi, and his coach’s support in getting him into the Pro Kabaddi League. We then talked about his story of how he went from being Pawan Kumar to being Pawan Sehrawat. We also discussed his thoughts on not being retained by the Bengaluru team in the league and his memories with his dad.
Towards the end, we talked about what doping is, why some athletes do it, his training routine before playing a league season, and whether the craze of kabaddi is increasing in India. We also talked about what led to the mental transformation that led to him being captain of the Indian kabaddi team. We ended the conversation by discussing what led to his team losing in the league, what goes in his mind when he is winning or losing, and what he likes about Virat Kohli.
