Update on Ajit Chouhan’s injury

U Mumba‘s skipper Sunil Kumar spoke about Ajit Chouhan’s absence and said, “Yes, sir, he is our leading raider, and we did miss him. Maybe the match would have been in our favour if he had been there. He is undergoing recovery and is with the physio.

He might come out tomorrow or in the next match, so let’s see. It’s a very long league; we won’t rush to make him play right now. He will only play after his injury is completely cured.”

Coach on Sunil Kumar

Anil Chaprana spoke about his experience of coaching Sunil Kumar and said, “Firstly, congratulations bhai for 400 points. He is the best captain here and in Pro Kabaddi, and he has the talent to bring the game out of nowhere. Whatever the situation, he stays calm. He maintains patience.”

“Sunil is filled with leadership, and this is a very good thing for us. We will pray that he keeps playing like this for many more seasons and keeps showing his leadership like this, and does very well in the pro and in the international arena,” he added.

Reaching the milestone of 400 tackle points

Sunil spoke about his milestone of reaching 400 tackle points and said, “I would like to say only this much that I am happy that I’ve scored 400 tackle points, but the way the team played today, I don’t think we will be able to win even a single match; both defense and offense have made a lot of mistakes.”
