There is a large similarity between KBL and Kabaddi. KBL, this year, is celebrating its 130 years of existence and the advent of Kabaddi as a competitive sport can also be traced back to the early 20th century,” said Vohra.

Both embark a sense of ‘Make in India’ feeling and yes, both are representing Pune on the global stage. Kabaddi has made its foray into the international arena and so has KBL with 8 plants in India and 7 plants abroad. We are confident of a stupendous performance of the Puneri Paltan and wish them all the best.”
