MUMBAI: Three-time Olympic Gold medallist in swimming, Stephanie Rice has been named as one of the presenters for the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League 2018 by Star Sports.
The Australian will join an illustrious expert panel featuring Suhail Chandok and Radhakrishnan Sreenivasan.
Rice commented on the development: “I’ve officially been in India for a while now and I have started to understand kabaddi. I feel it is a kind of game I will call professional tag/red rover which is played on a matt that looks like a basketball court. The players are so fit, agile and strong and have such smart methods of manoeuvring opponents. Thanks to my Hindi lessons, I can pronounce their names now and I look forward to a fantastic season. Also, for the first time, I have stepped out of my comfort zone with presenting a new sport like kabaddi and really hope that this will be an amazing experience for me and for all the spectators out there.’’
Fans can catch each match live at 7:30 pm onwards, starting with ShareChat KBD LIVE on the Star Sports Network including the FTA channel Star Sports First, regional channel Star Sports 1 Tamil, in Kannada on Star Suvarna Plus, in Telugu on Star Maa Gold and Hotstar.
