Ultimate Kho Kho League: Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI) is all set to host the first-ever World Cup in India. The players are gearing up for the global event. Sachin Bhargo, who beat all odds to make his name in the sport is all excited for the multi-nation tournament.

Hailing from a farming family, Sachin had his own share of struggles in the early years of his sporting career. However, the youngster, with the help of his coach, didn’t let those difficulties hold him back. He shared how he was on the verge of leaving Kho Kho but his coach supported him and even invited him to live with him.

Sachin revealed, “When I was a kid, we used to live in Dewas (in the city) but after the death of my grandparents, there was no one to take care of the farming. So, my parents and everybody shifted to the village. At that time, there were a lot of problems regarding where and how should I live. My parents asked me to accompany them to the village but I told them that I wanted to play Kho Kho. I started crying and called my sir (Praveenji Sante) and asked him what I should do as I wanted to play. My sir said, ‘Pack your bags and come to my house’ and I stayed with him in his house for one year.”
