#1 Kashiling Adake ( U Mumba)
Trending
His lean frame made him pursue kabaddi as a school kid instead of following in his father’s footsteps as a wrestler, but soon there was an obstacle in his aspirations due to his father’s death which made him the sole breadwinner of his family.
Kashi used to not only tend to the farms back home in his village in Sangli but also go and work in a sugarcane factory post that routine. For all of this, he earned merely 200 rupees each day and had to satisfy himself just one meal for four years. But one cannot really kill the passion that keeps burning and Kashi continued to practice kabaddi, joined local clubs and then one day on his uncle’s insistence, travelled to Mumbai.
In a story of hits and misses, he ended up playing for Mahindra and was then picked up by BPCL before Dabang Delhi gave him his talent’s worth. His auction price was 10 lakh with which he first rebuilt his house in Sangli which had been shattered due to heavy rains and from there, he has not looked back and will turn up for the U Mumba side this season.
