    Against The Odds: How Pravin Kumari Led Himachal Pradesh To Historic Win At Khelo India Beach Games 2026

    By IANS News January 07, 2026 • 16:24 PM View: 264
    Khelo India Beach Games: Pravin Kumari’s journey has been defined by resistance and resilience — first in pushing back against deep-rooted social norms in a remote village of Himachal Pradesh, and now as the last line of defence on the football field.

    A natural fighter, the 26-year-old goalkeeper has overcome social stigma, scarce resources and personal challenges to establish herself as one of the emerging faces of women’s football in Himachal Pradesh.

    At the ongoing Khelo India Beach Games 2026 at Ghoghla Beach in Diu, it was Pravin’s grit and refusal to give in — despite suffering a painful leg injury — that proved decisive as Himachal Pradesh pulled off a spirited comeback to defeat hosts Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (DNH&DD) in their maiden women’s Beach Soccer outing on Monday.
