Kabaddi is a sport played between two teams, on opposite halves of a field or court. Each player takes turns crossing over to the other team’s side, repeating “kabaddi, kabaddi” or an alternate chant; points are scored by tagging as many opponents as possible without being caught or taking a breath before returning to one’s home territory.
Pro Kabaddi League abbreviated to PKL is an Indian men’s professional Kabaddi league. It was launched in 2014 and is broadcast on Star Sports. It is the most popular kabaddi league in the world. It is also the second most-watched sports league in India after the Indian Premier League (IPL). Puneri Paltan are the current champions of PKL.
The popularity of the Kabaddi tournament during the 2006 Asian Games was a precursor to the formation of the league. The format of the competition was also influenced by IPL. The Pro Kabaddi League operates on the franchise model and the inaugural season took place in 2014 with eight teams.
