[UPDATE] Full City Tour Means More Kabaddi for Everyone
The action moves to Chennai and then Delhi after Vizag and Jaipur. Around the end of September, Chennai will host games, and on October 13, Delhi will be taking over.
High-stakes games between Patna Pirates and Dabang Delhi against Haryana Steelers are featured in each leg. Every club has the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths in several cities thanks to the round-robin structure.
The full travel circuit of PKL Season 12 allows fans in every corner of the country to witness live kabaddi. This year’s schedule feels more intense than ever since every game is leading up to a close playoff race.
Jyoti Sharma’s Opinion
According to the schedule, PKL Season 12 appears to be the most unexpected one yet. Each venue has different playing conditions, and teams are tightly matched. That balance could be the difference.
What makes this season even better is the energy of traveling to four cities. Fans in Vizag, Jaipur, Chennai, and Delhi will each get their share of the action. It also gives players the variety and motivation that’s often missing in single-location formats.
Both strength and talent will be tested this season. Notable names including Aslam Inamdar, Pawan Sehrawat, and Naveen Kumar are all set to make an impression. Fans will have a lot to enjoy because there are games practically every night.
PKL Season 12 is sure to be thrilling from beginning to end, regardless of which side you root for.
