Judges Comment:
Kabaddi is a game that tests the patience, endurance and team spirit.
Kabaddi is becoming increasingly popular in New Zealand, although most players are from Punjab.
Nikku Siddhu plays the sport with passion and we are happy that Indian Newslink has included ‘Best Kabaddi Player of the Year’ as a category in its first Indian Sports Awards. We need to encourage, recognise and rewards good players like Nikku.
