This marks the beginning of a new chapter for one of India’s most-watched sporting leagues, as teams gear up to rebuild and reinforce their squads ahead of the upcoming season.
Following the successful conclusion of Season 11, where Haryana Steelers clinched their maiden title with a win over the three-time champions Patna Pirates, the excitement is already brewing. The upcoming auction is expected to draw attention not just for its high-profile buys but also for how franchises strategise their picks in pursuit of kabaddi supremacy.
