However, the path was far from easy. "My brother used to play kabaddi, and seeing him, I started. Our family's financial condition was not good. I worked wherever I got the opportunity to earn money, but I never stopped playing kabaddi," Aslam recalls, highlighting the determination that would later become a key part of his career."

The release said that advent of the Pro Kabaddi League in 2014 revolutionised the sport in India, offering players like Aslam a platform to showcase their talents. For him, the opportunity came in Season 7.

"My life changed completely when I came to PKL in Season 7. Now, I am able to fulfill most of the dreams I had."

One of those dreams was particularly close to his heart. "It was to take my mother for a ride in a four-wheeler that I bought myself," Aslam shares with pride.

"I was able to do this after Season 9. This was my dream - to make my mother travel in a car," he added. Dabang Delhi KC Team in PKL 2024: Check Out Strengths, Weaknesses and Complete Squad Analysis of DDKC Ahead of Pro Kabaddi League Season 11.

Aslam's success has had a ripple effect in his village. "There are many boys on my ground already practicing. Many good players are also from my village. Now, three Pro Kabaddi players are playing for one team from my village, which is a matter of great pride, he says.

The India international player's journey is intertwined with the success of his team, Puneri Paltan, which has taken a unique approach to nurturing talent.

"In Season 7, our owner Jay Kotak and our mentor Ashok Shinde sir had a meeting. They decided to start an academy in Mumbai for young players," he explained.

This academy system has been a game-changer for Puneri Paltan. "Puneri Paltan was the first to start this concept in Pro Kabaddi. We kept 12-15 players for practice throughout the year," says Aslam.

The results speak for themselves: "We qualified for the final in Season 9, and became champions in Season 10, so that proves that this system works." Fazel Atrachali To Captain Bengal Warriorz; Nitesh Kumar Named Vice-Captain Ahead of Pro Kabaddi League 2024.

Aslam's message to aspiring kabaddi players is clear: "Just dedicate yourself completely to your hard work. Have faith in your hard work.

Aslam's journey from a village ground to becoming the captain of a PKL champion team is a testament to the power of hard work. As kabaddi continues to grow in popularity, stories like Aslam's serve as an inspiration for countless young players dreaming of making it big in the sport.
