Pro Kabaddi League at 10: The improbable league that captured hearts

Live Mint  

Before Pro Kabaddi hit the television screens in 2014, Kailash Kandpal, CEO of Insurekot Sports, which owns one of the founding teams, Puneri Paltan, recalls the endeavour being regarded with a level of ridicule. Kabaddi just needed that opportunity to be on the big screen, that’s what PKL provided.” Pro Kabaddi yanked India’s rural sport into the 21st century, from mud to mat; from the sidelines into the spotlight. “Since the advent of Pro Kabaddi, the game has become very fast and strategic,” says Jeeva Kumar, a star PKL defender and now the defensive coach of U Mumba. Now you can’t be predictable, you have to keep upgrading, adding to skills every year.” For Iranian superstar Fazel Atrachali, who has been playing the League since season 2, kabaddi has undergone a massive change. “It is not just about Iran, but all over the world people want to play Pro Kabaddi,” adds Atrachali.
