India’s men’s kabaddi captain Pawan Sehrawat says the team stays highly focused ahead of the final at the Asian Games, including delaying a meal until after they secure gold. He also refers to himself as the opening ceremony flag-bearer, linking his early participation to the team’s later performance.
Sehrawat’s remarks describe the players’ approach as disciplined and goal-oriented: they concentrate on the final and avoid distractions, even to the point of waiting to eat properly. Across the reporting, the emphasis remains on the team’s mindset rather than on changes to strategy during the match.
While outlets repeat the same core point—that the team’s focus led to postponing food until after winning—the details presented are limited to Sehrawat’s reaction and the broader description of preparation. No additional, differing claims about the final itself are included in the provided sources.
