From cricket to kabaddi

Pro Kabaddi League Season VI player auctions are just a week away and the excitement around the event is on the rise. Three cricketers, Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan and Darren Sammy, took up the kabaddi challenge recently. The three players built their teams with junior kabaddi stars and were pitted against each other.  

Talking about the similarity between cricket and kabaddi, Irfan Pathan said, “Playing a game of kabaddi is very similar to playing a T20 match, there is something new happening every second.” 

The player auctions are scheduled to take place on the May 30-31, 2018, in Mumbai and will witness player representation from 14 countries.
