Despite being signed with a tour to India in mind and being pushed immediately on the basis of his Indian ethnicity, it wasn't until 2016 that Jinder Mahal finally got the opportunity to wrestle in the world's second most populous country.

India is wrestling mad however, and men such as Mahal and The Great Khali are huge stars in the industry back 'home'. Mahal wrestled for Khali's Continental Wrestling Entertainment promotion in India in 2016 on a number of shows, the largest of which Mahal claimed happened in front of over 60,000 people.

Now he's WWE's top guy, he's almost certain to spearhead any future your the company plans in India.
