Meanwhile, Manjrekar spoke about the night kabaddi culture in Mumbai, "A very competitive night kabaddi used to take place and a lot of people used to go and watch the games in Mumbai. I also used to go and watch the games along with the huge crowd."
Manjrekar added that he found facing fast bowlers easier than playing kabaddi, "This is a contact sport. I found it easier to wear a helmet and face fast bowling than playing kabaddi. One requires flexibility, strength and smartness for this sport."
