Day 1 of the Pro Kabaddi League 2017 auction remained the highlight of Nitin Tomar's young career in the tournament, which began only in the Pro Kabaddi League season 3 last January! The best part about Monday's auction was that Indian kabaddi players completely overshadowed foreigners.
Are India already invincible in the sport of kabaddi? Well, the Indian men's team are already nine-time Kabaddi World Cup champions -- thrice in the standard style Kabaddi World Cup and six times in the circle style Kabaddi World Cup.
Need we say more about India's domination in the physical sport?
