Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers’ character spots

26-year old Deepak Hooda is no stranger to pressure. Much before he could take the reins as captain of the Pro Kabaddi League side the Jaipur Pink Panthers, the kabaddi star from Rohtak, Haryana was leading from the front as captain of the Indian National team. An all-rounder, whose power-packed performance on the field can be ascribed to his dedication towards the game in his early days, Deepak took to the game in his village back in 2009. Realizing where his true passion lies, he continued practising even when he was working as a part-time teacher in a school. It is this dedication and willingness to improve his game and not succumbing to pressure that earned him the Panther’s captaincy. Amazon Original docu series Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers will showcase Deepak’s on and off-field dedication to the game.

Produced by BBC Productions, the show follows the inspiring journey of the Jaipur Pink Panthers during the seventh season of Pro Kabaddi League. Prime members in India and over 200 countries and territories can stream all episodes starting December 4, 2020.
