Sagar Rathee, who first assumed captaincy in Season 9, led Tamil Thalaivas to their first-ever Play-Offs appearance, securing a place in the semi-finals. He continued his leadership in Season 10 and has once again been entrusted with the responsibility to steer the team to success in Season 11. Rathee is widely recognized for his exceptional defensive skills, strategic brilliance, and unwavering sportsmanship. His leadership on and off the mat has been a driving force behind the team’s success, making him a natural choice to lead the Thalaivas once again.

Speaking on the occasion, Tamil Thalaivas' Strategy Coach, D. Cherlathan, said:

“As we head into Season 11, our focus is crystal clear. We’ve worked extensively to strengthen every aspect of our game, learning from the past and making the necessary adjustments. This time, we’re approaching the season with a no-compromise mindset—every match is crucial, and we’re going to play with aggression and determination. The team is more focused and more prepared than ever before, and we’re ready to give it our all on the mat. We believe in the talent and grit of this squad, and we’re committed to fighting for every point, every match, until the very end.”

Chief Coach, Udaya Kumar, echoed these sentiments, adding: “This season, we’re bringing a renewed sense of discipline and intensity to our training. The team has been putting in consistent hard work, and we’ve made consistent progress in our game plan. We’re prepared for every challenge that comes our way and are focused on playing smart,

aggressive kabaddi. We won’t be giving up easily—our goal is to fight till the very last whistle. This is a resilient and motivated group, and I’m confident we will showcase our strength and unity on the mat this season”

Captain Sagar Rathee, full of optimism, shared his thoughts:

“Forget Season 10. We have the best, most balanced team this time, and we are aiming high. We will give our fullest and will not give up at any cost.”

As the excitement for Season 11 builds, Tamil Thalaivas is ready to take on the challenge with a fresh mindset and a relentless drive to succeed. The team is focused on delivering a stellar performance and is poised to make its mark in the Pro Kabaddi League.
