KIBG 2026: Rising Kabaddi Star Dadaso Pujari Completes Khelo India Circle In Diu
Khelo India Beach Games: A product of the Khelo India ecosystem, Maharashtra’s rising kabaddi star Dadaso Shivaji Pujari has come full circle at the ongoing Khelo India Beach Games (KIBG) 2026 in Diu, returning to the platform that launched his journey to the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL).
Dadaso caught the eye in the Khelo India Youth Games in Panchkula, which has already earned him three seasons with Puneri Paltan as a reliable right-corner defender. He is now drawing on that experience as he competes on the sands of Ghoghla Beach in beach kabaddi.
Dadaso’s journey is a compelling example of how the Khelo India pathway is feeding Indian kabaddi at the highest level and, in turn, being strengthened by players who return after gaining exposure on bigger platforms.
