Battleground, the adrenaline-pumping fitness reality show where grit meets glory, continues to raise the bar. With cricket superstar Shikhar Dhawan commanding the game as the powerful ‘Super Mentor’, the battlefield is ablaze with intensity. Among the standout mentors, Rajat Dalal , who leads Team Haryana Bulls , brings not just strategy but a deep emotional connect to the arena.

Representing his home state, Rajat speaks passionately about what Haryana means to him. “The name Haryana itself holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I come from, so there’s always been an emotional connection,” he shared. “Over time, that connection has only deepened. I've naturally become emotionally invested in the team.”


His mentorship style reflects this bond—firm, focused, yet incredibly supportive. With four powerhouse players under his wing, Rajat’s leadership has been both empowering and transformative. “Honestly, it’s been effortless because the four players I’m mentoring are incredibly solid,” he said. “They know how to hold their ground, how to respond under pressure, and how to rise when the situation demands it. In fact, they’ve taken on so much responsibility that at times, it feels like they’ve taken the load off my shoulders.”

What sets Team Haryana Bulls apart isn’t just physical strength—it’s their mental game. Rajat emphasized their unshakable focus, even during emotionally challenging moments. “Mentally, they’ve been rock solid. Sure, there are moments of emotional vulnerability—being away from home can do that. But when it comes to performance, they’ve shown laser focus. Not once have I seen them falter in the game.”


As Battleground continues to test limits, Rajat Dalal and Team Haryana Bulls stand tall, proving that heart, heritage, and hard work are a winning formula.
