Mangat Singh, alias Mangi Bagga (35), one of the most experienced players of the circle style kabaddi that originated in Punjab, has been a source of constant inspiration for the new generation of players.
Having started playing the sport in 1998, he hasn’t taken retirement yet. Apart from brushing his skills in accordance with the latest tricks, he is training the budding players.
Fondly called “pind king”, Bagga has also served as the captain of the Indian kabaddi team in the first Kabaddi World Cup in 2010.
“Kabaddi has been an integral part of Punjab villages. However, the rising drug menace has badly affected the life of the youth in the state. So, my goal is to motivate more youth to join the sport,” he said.
As kabaddi has been played widely in several parts of the state and has dominated all other sources of entertainment, the experienced players feel the sport is somehow losing its charm among the youth.
