'Couldn't Believe It Was Real': Aanil Mohan's Dream Becomes PKL History
The Pro Kabaddi League Player: The phone call that changed everything came when Aanil Mohan was fast asleep. By the time he woke up, his life had changed. U Mumba had just secured his signature for a staggering Rs 78 lakhs – the highest-ever bid in Category D in PKL history – but the young man from the small village of Jasui in Himachal Pradesh's Sirmaur district was still processing the magnitude of what just happened.
"At first, I couldn't believe it," Aanil recalled. "When I found out that U Mumba bought me for Rs 78 lakhs, I just couldn't believe it was real."
In the world of kabaddi, where Haryana dominates the headlines and produces the superstars, Aanil Mohan represents something different – a dream that refused to be confined by geography. His journey began in the most humble of settings: the dusty courts of his village, where he first fell in love with the ancient sport that would change his destiny.
