Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 kicks off next month with more fanfare than ever before. The addition of two new franchises — Surat Stallions and Pune Panthers — takes the league to 14 teams, making it the largest kabaddi league in the world.
The new auction saw record-breaking bids, with Pardeep Narwal becoming the first kabaddi player to command a ₹2 crore price tag. The bidding war between Patna Pirates and Jaipur Pink Panthers for the raider lasted 23 rounds before Patna finally secured his services.
Rule changes for Season 10 include a new 'Super Tackle' bonus point system and the introduction of video referrals, bringing the sport in line with international standards.
