    MUMBAI: Dabang Delhi K.C. is turning the mat green. In a first for the Pro Kabaddi League, the team donned a special green jersey as part of its Raid for Green campaign, signalling a bold commitment to sustainability in partnership with Aavashyak Game.

    Every successful raid now has a real-world impact, a tree is planted in pollution-heavy, low-green zones across the NCR. So far, Dabang Delhi has planted 295 trees, turning athletic points into environmental victories. Fans are also invited to join the movement, with the “Green fan of the match” programme recognising eco-friendly actions with a sapling and digital shout-out during home games.

    Dabang Delhi K.C. CEO Prashant Mishra said, “Every raid, every cheer, and every fan action contributes to a cleaner, greener tomorrow. This green jersey is more than just a colour; it’s a symbol of our commitment to climate-positive change.”

    In a thrilling opener of the Delhi leg, Dabang Delhi squared off against Puneri Paltan in the green jersey, finishing 38-38 in a nail-biting draw. Ajinkya Pawar led with a Super 10, supported by Neeraj Narwal and the rest of the raiders, showcasing teamwork and determination even in the absence of captain Ashu Malik.

    This initiative positions Dabang Delhi K.C. as a pioneer in Indian sports, proving that kabaddi can be climate-positive. By linking every on-field moment with measurable environmental action, the team is inspiring fans, players, and communities to make small, impactful changes that add up to a greener future.

    With consistent performance since its inception in 2014 and a track record of playoff qualifications, Dabang Delhi K.C. continues to combine sporting excellence with social responsibility, setting a new benchmark in Indian sports.
