Pro Kabaddi League: After an impressive start to the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12, U Mumba captain Sunil Kumar credited former India captains Anup Kumar and Ajay Thakur for shaping his leadership skills.

U Mumba are currently placed at the top of the table with three wins in four games.

“Coach Manpreet Singh, who mentored me in earlier seasons, gave me the chance to captain for the first time, during Season 6. He has been a great influence. However, I truly learned captaincy from Anup Kumar and Ajay Thakur. I played tournaments with Anup Kumar in Haryana, and whenever we made mistakes, he was calm and guided us on how to improve. What he taught, I listened carefully, especially about how a newcomer can score. All three, Manpreet Singh, Anup Kumar, and Ajay Thakur, are legends in their own right, and I have learned a lot from them. I’m happy I could learn from such great players and become a successful captain. Whenever any young player asks, I share everything I learned from these legends," Sunil said during a media day organised by JioStar.
