PWL 2026: Practising With Foreign Players Helps Understand Game Better, Says Maharashtra Kesari’s Manisha Bhanwala
Delhi Dangal Warriors advanced to the final after edging Maharashtra Kesari 5–4 in a closely contested semi-final at the Noida Indoor Stadium. Anjli gave Delhi an early lead with a 12–4 win in the 62kg women’s bout, but Maharashtra quickly hit back as Manisha Bhanwala delivered a dominant 15–0 technical superiority victory in the 57kg category to level the tie on Saturday.
“Whenever there is competition in India, we play against everyone, and it provides a very good experience. We are also learning a lot from foreign players because when we go abroad, they are the ones we face as opponents. Practising with them helps us understand what needs to be done and how," Manisha told IANS while speaking on the importance of leagues like PWL in preparing for global events like the Asian Games and Olympics.
