In the final week of 2023, our team Gujarat Giants made a strong comeback in the Pro Kabaddi League. We won against U.P Yoddhas and Tamil Thalaivas during our Chennai matches, putting us in a good position before our important game against Bengal Warriors.
Our coach, Ram Mehar Singh, highlighted the significance of players like Parteek in our recent victories. He mentioned that despite some mistakes, our team maintained control throughout most of the matches, which was a turning point against Tamil Thalaivas. He praised Parteek's contributions in both attack and defense, along with Rakesh's excellent performance. Additionally, he noted how the opponents' focus on Fazel helped other players like Sombir to step up in the captain's absence.
Ram Mehar credited Fazel Atrachali for his motivational role within the team. He emphasised how Fazel constantly encourages and supports the players, both during games and training sessions. The coach also highlighted Fazel's coaching-like influence on the team due to his extensive experience, appreciating his leadership qualities.
Our team began the tournament with three consecutive wins and aim to finish the year strongly.
Fazel, the captain, expressed his delight with the team's collective effort and acknowledged the contribution of other members, especially when opponents concentrated on him.
Looking ahead to the next game against Bengal Warriors, Fazel expressed confidence in facing Maninder, their key player. He mentioned the team's focus on strengthening their defensive strategies and how they rely on various players, like Parteek, Rohit, or Rakesh, if one player isn’t performing well. He believes the team is in a good position.
In summary, our team bounced back with wins, highlighting the contributions of various players, the captain's motivational role, and their collective strength ahead of the upcoming match against Bengal Warriors.
