To salute the power of women in Kabaddi, Puneri Paltan had invited Deepika Joseph, Indian kabaddi player, to award the winning teams with trophies and medals.
Speaking on the occasion Deepika Joseph said, “It was amazing to watch these future stars play so fiercely yet gracefully in the competition. I remembered my good old days of practice and toiling hard to reach where I am today. This whole tournament was filled of nostalgic moments for me. The girls are extremely talented, and I am sure the future of Indian Kabaddi is in safe hands. I would also like to congratulate Puneri Paltan to come up with such an innovative concept. Good show girls and team Puneri Paltan.”
