Gujarat Giants and Indian Hockey Team Unite for Cross-Sport Training

In a unique pre-season collaboration, the Gujarat Giants kabaddi team interacted with the Indian Men's Hockey Team at the SAI Centre in Bengaluru. This initiative aimed at mutual growth and understanding as players tried each other's sports under the guidance of Gujarat Giants' head coach Jaivir Sharma and coaches of both teams.

The session involved a significant exchange of expertise on physical and tactical strategies inherent in both sports. Coaches and players discussed the importance of strength, agility, and tactical acumen, offering insights into improving training regimes through cross-sport techniques. Indian Men's Hockey Team Captain Harmanpreet Singh and Chief Coach Craig Fulton even attempted kabaddi raiding, much to the delight of all participants.

As both teams prepare for their forthcoming challenges—the Indian Hockey Team's Australian tour and Asia Cup, and the Giants' PKL season kickoff—the collaboration highlighted the mutual respect and camaraderie on and off the field. A jersey exchange marked the session's conclusion, fostering goodwill as Gujarat Giants gear up to face U Mumba in Vizag.
