Kabbadi world cup

Senior National Kabaddi Championship: As India's women’s kabaddi probables continue their high-performance camp at the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) Bellary, experienced all-rounder Sonali Shingate believes the shift towards structured strength and conditioning is a significant step forward for the sport.

A key member of India’s gold medal-winning squad at the 2025 Kabbadi World Cup in Dhaka and the silver medal-winning team at the 2018 Asian Games, Shingate brings valuable experience to the camp, organised by the AKFI and Mashal Sports, blending seasoned internationals with emerging talent.

Reflecting on the sessions so far, she said, “The focus on strength and conditioning here is something new for many of us. It’s helping us understand how to train better and improve our overall performance.”
