MS Dhoni inaugurates luxury padel & wellness facility in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Oct 5 (UNI) Cricket legend MS Dhoni, along with PadelPark India co-founders Nikhil Sachdev, Jigar Doshi and Pratik Doshi, on Monday inaugurated 7Padel MS Dhoni, an indoor sports and wellness facility at Jubilee Hills here.
Spread across 15,000 sq ft, the facility features three padel courts, a fully equipped gym, a recovery suite with a sauna, ice bath and infrared room, and a studio for yoga and Pilates.
The facility also has an in-house cafe, viewing gallery, equipment rentals, certified coaching and local tournaments aimed at players ranging from beginners to experienced competitors.
Jigar Doshi, Co-Founder of PadelPark India, said Hyderabad had been on the company's radar and the expansion came at a time when interest was growing in sports that combine physical activity and social interaction.
"We want to create an inclusive environment where that culture can grow naturally through regular play, professional coaching and structured competition," he said.
Dhoni said the growth of a sport depended on building quality facilities and encouraging wider participation.
"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," he said.
PadelPark India 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, according to the company.
The company said Hyderabad would be followed by planned expansions in Kochi, Coimbatore, Chennai, Jaipur, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR.
PadelPark India said it has built more than 320 courts across India and is targeting more than 500 courts by the end of 2027.
The company said the Hyderabad facility marked another step in its expansion of padel and community-focused sports and fitness infrastructure across the country.
