Pro Kabaddi League Season: As part of their pre-season preparations for Pro Kabaddi League Season 12, Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants had a special interaction with the Indian men’s hockey team at the SAI Centre in Bengaluru.

Gujarat Giants players, Himanshu Jaglan, Rakesh, Parteek Dahiya, Nitin Panwar and V Ajith Kumar along with the head coach Jaivir Sharma, assistant coach Varinder Singh Sandhu and trainer Abhishek Parihar, drew inspiration from the men's hockey team and even tried their hand at hockey, while the hockey players experienced kabaddi drills in return.

In what was a cross-learning experience, players and coaches discussed the shared physical and tactical demands of hockey and kabaddi, including strength, speed, agility, and tactical awareness. The teams also exchanged insights on strength and conditioning, injury prevention, and ways in which training methods from one sport can benefit performance in the other.
