Abhishek continued, "This award is a recognition and result of the immense hard work of the players and coaching staff. It's all due to them. Also to my pillars of support in running the team @walia_bunty , Ramesh Pulapaka and Rajesh Yadav. None of this would have been possible without any of the above mentioned people. Lastly, for a Kabaddi team winning "Club of the year" when nominated with great teams in Cricket and Football goes to show the popularity of "our sport". Wow!! Again, my gratitude to my players and the coaches. Now we need to work even harder to try and remain the Champs."
