How long have you been Armwrestling?
I have been armwrestling for six years.
What are the improvements that you have done after the Pro Panja League ranking tournament which took place in Gwalior?
I have improved very much since the Gwalior event. In the ranking tournament held in Gwalior I was placed in the third position. In the Open Armwrestling Championship held in Hoshiarpur, I was placed in the first position in my weight class. In the latest Sood Classic World Strongman Games, I got second position
Why should the franchise chose you in the upcoming League?
I am a very good armwrestler and one of the top in the country. I have also been associated with numerous brands before, so I think I will be a welcoming addition to any franchise out there.
What are your past achievements in Armwrestling?
My achievements are as follows:
- A) Silver Medal in the National Armwrestling Championship held in Haryana
- B) Silver Medal in the National Armwrestling Championship held in Chattisgarh
- C) Gold Medal at the 2020 Pro Panja League Ranking Tournament
- D) Multiple Time State Championship
- E) Bronze Medal at the 2022 Pro Panja League Ranking Tournament
Tell us about your training regimen?
I train for Armwrestling for three times a week. I like to work on my top roll a lot as it’s one of my strongest moves and I also work on my speed. I also do strength training and do a lot of hammer curls, chin ups and rope climbing etc.
What are your expectations from the League?
I have extremely high hopes from Pro Panja League as when I started Armwrestling, there wasn’t a platform like this, but with Pro Panja League, Armwrestlers have got a big platform. Because of Pro Panja League, my popularity has increased and earlier people didn’t know me and now everyone recognizes in Armwrestling tournaments. I am extremely thankful to be a Pro Panja League player and I owe a great deal of gratitude to Mr Parvin Dabas and Mrs Preeti Jhangiani.
