00:00So, another team member of Tamil Lines, Ritika Dalal, is from Delhi NCR.
00:19Ritika is getting a GIPKL and this is the first time that the men's and women's team will play on the mat and it will be broadcast.
00:28What do you think it is so different and how much progress is in the women's cupboards?
00:35First, I feel very happy that we have a chance to play on the mat and we have a selection.
00:41We will come to TV and see the people who will come to TV.
00:44I feel very happy that our kids, especially the girls who come to TV,
00:48they will be able to get a chance to play on TV,
00:51they will be a pro, cupboards, they will be a lot of achievements.
00:56But for girls, there are no such things.
00:59Because they have only tournaments or small small nationals.
01:03We are only here to play.
01:05The nationals are only for five years.
01:08At that time, they get out of age.
01:10And then they get out of age.
01:12So, they don't get so much to play.
01:14And they have a lot of mistakes and we feel very proud.
01:18So, do you want to play in the pro league?
01:21Girls?
01:22Yes, I do want to.
01:24Because the girls are so hard to play.
01:27There are injuries, there are operations.
01:30After that, we don't get any achievements, so we will be very upset.
01:34We also have a lot of mistakes with this.
01:35So, like boys are like, we should also give them more.
01:41Now, on a lighter note, on a note, you will tell me that
01:44in the preparation of Kabaddi,
01:45you have to strong mental things.
01:47You have to have to be mentally strong.
01:48You have to be physically,
01:49you have to be injured.
01:51So, you have to be a lot of things.
01:53So, how do you manage these things in a team?
01:59First of all, we have to do our mindset to reach the achievement,
02:05and reach the level.
02:08First of all, we have to go to the house,
02:11and we have to go to the house.
02:13We have to go to the house.
02:16We have to go to the house.
02:18So, we have to go to the house.
02:22So, now we have to go to the rapid fire round,
02:25which I will ask you a few questions,
02:27and you have to answer quickly.
02:31First of all, tell me,
02:33what do you like to attack or defense?
02:36I like to attack.
02:38I like to raid.
02:40Who is your toughest opponent in your journey?
02:45No, no, no.
02:50So, basically, Ritika is the toughest opponent itself.
02:55And no one else.
02:56Very good.
02:57Tell me, first of all,
02:59because you have to do all the preparation of fitness,
03:02and you have to concentrate on the food,
03:04what do you eat, what do you eat?
03:06So, what is your favorite cheat meal?
03:08Which cheat meal?
03:09Like the cheat meal,
03:11when you go outside,
03:13you have to eat.
03:14So, you have to be careful not to eat,
03:16but you can't eat.
03:17The coach has a lot of pressure,
03:18and you have to work for practice,
03:19and you have to work for it,
03:20and you have to work for it,
03:21and you have to work for it.
03:23So, you have to be careful not to eat,
03:24and you have to work for it,
03:25and you have to work for it,
03:26and you have to work for it,
03:27and you have to work for it,
03:28and you have to work for it.
03:29Okay.
03:30So, tell me,
03:31if you don't have to be in your life,
03:32then what sport do you think?
03:34Yes, Ritika Dalal is in this sport.
03:36Badminton.
03:37Badminton.
03:38Very interesting.
03:39And the last question is,
03:41is there any Kabaddi moment in your journey
03:45that you thought was the best moment?
03:48When I played in Tamil Nadu,
03:50I was going to play in Tamil Nadu,
03:52in 2015.
03:54It was the biggest thing for me,
03:56because I didn't feel like I was going to have a selection,
03:59but in the end moment,
04:01like our coach,
04:02Manoj Narwal,
04:04because of the judges.
04:06So, the selection was the best.
04:08So, that was the best moment for me.
04:10It was the best moment.
04:11The nationals won.
04:12So,
04:13it was a very interesting conversation, Ritika.
04:16Thank you so much.
04:17And we wish you all the best.
04:18If you have a match tomorrow,
04:19so, now,
04:20go out for preparation.
04:21And thank you once again for speaking with Eshya Narajis.
