Let's give her a proper welcome...Should be a fun show on this Super Sunday & it all kicks off @StarSportsIndia 2 @ 7.30pm! pic.twitter.com/LhjYIYfN5c
Excited to be in India for VIVO PKL 2018, Stephanie said, "I've officially been in India for a while now and I have started to understand kabaddi. I feel it is a kind of game I will call professional tag/red rover which is played on a matt that looks like a basketball court."
It’s all about @ProKabaddi and the 2 superstars @RaiderRahul and #PardeepNarwal tonight

"The players are so fit, agile and strong and have such smart methods of manoeuvring opponents. Thanks to my hindi lessons, I can pronounce their names now and I look forward to a fantastic season. Also, for the first time, I have stepped out of my comfort zone with presenting a new sport like Kabaddi and really hope that this will be an amazing experience for me and for all the spectators out there.''
Stephanie Rice is doing great at pronouncing Indian names. Way better than what other foreign commentators and anchors have done so far...#VivoProKabaddi
