As a fan from Haryana, it's fantastic to see our local kabaddi talent getting this platform. Devank Dalal justifying his price tag! Bhiwani's physical game is always entertaining. Rai stadium will be electric tonight.

Respectfully, the article could have given more insight into the team strategies. It's mostly player quotes. Would love to see analysis on how Sonipat's 'disciplined structure' actually counters Bhiwani's 'aggressive mindset'. Still, excited for the matches!

Kabaddi is our indigenous sport, and leagues like KCL are crucial for its growth. Hope the matches get good viewership. My money is on Karnal Kings to keep their streak alive. They seem to have the perfect balance.

The timing is perfect for a family watch after dinner! 7 PM and 8 PM matches. Rooting for Faridabad Fighters to stage a comeback. Ankit Jaglan's team needs to convert their excitement into points on the mat. All the best! 🙏
