India's 2016 World Cup-winning kabaddi team captain Anup Kumar felt his son Kunal, 12, could become a very good wrestler. However, Kunal decided to pursue kabaddi. Currently, Anup is guiding Kunal, a Class VI student, to strengthen his foundations in the sport at Palra village in Haryana's Gurgaon district.

"Kunal is a bit on the stout side but is very active which made me think he could be an excellent wrestler. He has the power, speed and energy. But he is adamant on being a kabaddi player. I will support and train him to ensure he reaches his goal. He has told me very clearly that kabaddi is the only sport he will pursue else he won't be pursuing any other sport which makes me happy," Anup told mid-day on Thursday.
