Mahendra Singh Dhoni has recently opened something that not only his own fans but the fans of the widely growing sport Padel will come to appreciate. Having said that, Dhoni an icon of the game and someone
who’s a smart entrepreneur forever thinking of innovative and interesting ways of beginning new ventures, has brought out the brand new 7Padel – in the city of Hyderabad. 7 padel happens to be the country’s current premier padel court network and management ecosystem. The same, news reports suggest, has been backed by the famed cricket legend as also PadelPark India.
What seems to be new about this concept is not just the sport of Padel itself, the foundation behind 7Padel, but the very fact that across multiple Tier 1 cities in India, a bright new transformation has been quite evident in the last half a decade or maybe a touch more or so!

And it’s true that while the majority of the fans are about football and cricket, at large, urban concepts where it comes to sport has, for quite some time, now also found a fresh interest in newer sporting or athletic avenues.
That is where sports like Padel, Pickleball, Sprinting, and Cycling become all the more important and perhaps relevant for new India.

The most recent flagship launch of 7Padel is at the Jubilee Hills, a premier estate of Hyderabad that needs little introduction.
What the concept of 7Padel is that fundamentally speaking, it operates several padel tennis facilities, each being nothing but state-of-the-art facilities. And the same are spread across major Indian cities. The Hyderabad one which has brought renewed focus on the cricket icon from India offers a myriad facilities such as professional glass courts, wellness studios, cafes as well as gyms.
For someone who made agility, fitness and sporting endeavour pretty much his bread and butter and did so gloriously well enough to earn India several triumphs, it is hardly surprising that MS Dhoni has associated with a concept that’s both fresh and innovative like Padel.
