Though the nature of the sport assigns its players a rugged image, but if you get up-close to Kabaddi players, you often find that these men who appear tough from the outside, often have a soft core.

It may be difficult to imagine for some by the way they play the sport, but most of these Kabaddi players are true gentlemen off it.

Just like how Castrol Activ helps the engine perform at its best by protecting it even when the engine is off, these players are consummate team players and are very important to the team’s optimum functioning.
