The ninth edition of the Pro Kabaddi League will get underway at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium on Friday with the match between defending champion Dabang Delhi and U Mumba.
The League missed its date in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic before returning in 2021-22, sheathed within a bio-bubble.
The latest edition will be a throwback to those greener times when fans lapped up the action in stadia. This year, the 12-team caravan is set to traverse three cities — Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad.
