MS Dhoni Highlights Padel’s Grassroots Growth
Speaking at the inauguration of 7Padel MS Dhoni, MS Dhoni highlighted the importance of creating quality facilities and making the sport accessible to a wider audience.
“There is no shortcut to building a sport. Build good courts, look after the people who play on them, keep the doors open to anyone willing to try, and the game grows from the grassroots up. City by city, that is how padel will grow here. Hyderabad is a new chapter, and far from the last,” said MS Dhoni.
The launch of 7Padel MS Dhoni comes amid growing momentum for padel in India. 7Padel currently operates more than 50 owned and managed courts across Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi, with a community of more than 55,000 players.
