After entertaining the Indian fans at home, the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is looking to expand its footprint in overseas territories. And the PKL has made its first move, taking India’s second-most watched league to Australia.
India is a powerhouse in kabaddi, with the league aiming to involve more countries in the sport’s development. Keeping that in mind, the league will organise two exhibition matches in collaboration with the Victoria government.
It will be a one-day affair organised at the John Cain Arena in Melbourne, with four teams participating in it. Three of those teams will have the services of current and former PKL stars while the other team has former Australian NFL players.
The PKL All Stars League will take place on December 28, with the first game starting at 2 PM IST. It will happen a day before the Pro kabaddi League 2024 final match.
