Sohail Khan and Salman Khan Kick Off World Padel League Season 3 with Star Power and Sporting Spirit

                   Sohail Khan and Salman Khan Kick Off World Padel League                Season 3 with Star Power and Sporting Spirit

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a surprise appearance at the launch of Season 3 of the World Padel League, held in Mumbai. The actor turned up in support of his younger brother, Sohail Khan, who is the team owner of the Khan Tigers in the tournament. The high-energy sporting event, co-founded by Indian tennis legend Mahesh Bhupathi, will take place at the NESCO Centre, Goregaon, from August 12 to 16. Salman’s presence added a touch of star power to the kick-off press conference, creating a buzz both in the sporting and entertainment circles.

 

When asked about the difference between Padel, Tennis and Pickleball, Sohail Khan jokingly said “The difference between Padel, Tennis and Pickle is Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail.” He continued to speak about the future of the sport: “Children should start playing Padel, and it should reach the level where Spanish or Argentinian kids play. If our kids start playing this game today, I won't be surprised if, in the next 5 to 6 years, we will be at international standards.”

 

On the team’s name ‘Khan Tigers’, Sohail Khan said: “We genuinely, as a family, think of ourselves as tigers for no absolute reason. If you see, all the teams at WPL have symbols of big cats, and for me, the most fascinating big cat is a tiger. So, when I got the opportunity to name my own team, I named it Khan Tigers.”

 

Salman Khan, who was there to support his brother Sohail and the sport, shared his thoughts on the sport and said “This sport can be played anywhere, so I think it is going to really pick up in the country. Sohail told me to come so that awareness of the sport & the league will grow. I don’t think that my coming here will increase the awareness of the sport. If Sohail can take a team in this league & is aware about the sport, every one of us knows about Padel. Even Aayat & Ahil have already come dressed up to play the sport. So, this sport is already popular.”

 

Season 3 of the World Padel League will see six powerhouse teams - Khan Tigers (owned by Sohail Khan), Hubtown Panorama Panthers (owned by Panorama Pictures), Vedanta Leopards (owned by Vedanta Group), SG Pipers Cheetahs (owned by SG Sports and Entertainment), Game Changers Lions (owned by Game Changers FZCO), and Vernost Jaguars (owned by Vernost) - battle it out for top honours. The opening day on August 12 will feature a thrilling face-off between Vernost Jaguars and Game Changers Lions, followed by SG Pipers Cheetahs and Hubtown Panorama Panthers at the NESCO Centre, Goregaon.
