Inspired by such skills, Samadhan aims to emulate them in his own gameplay. Although he hasn't had any formal representations yet, Samadhan has made a mark in local matches, earning recognition as the best defender in some instances. Apart from kabaddi, Samadhan also enjoys wrestling and engages in other sports alongside his kabaddi pursuits. Currently pursuing his education in 12th Arts, Samadhan aspires to play in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) in the future, aiming to showcase his talent on a larger platform and fulfill his dreams in the sport.
