This is wonderful news for promoting indigenous sports. The timing is perfect for family viewing. Hoping the production quality matches the excitement. More power to our athletes!
As someone from a village where kabaddi is played in every field, this feels personal. A Champions League means scouts will finally come to rural areas. My younger brother is a great raider – this is his chance! 🤞
Great initiative, but I hope they focus on women's kabaddi too. Our women's team are world champions, after all. The league should have equal promotion for men and women from the start.
Perfect timing after PKL. Hope the player salaries are good and the league is sustainable. We don't need another sports league that fizzles out after a season or two. Fingers crossed for solid management.
The article captures the community spirit well. "Shared evening ritual" is spot on. In a time of fragmented viewing, bringing families together for a fast-paced, homegrown sport is a brilliant move.
