The league has made kabaddi very thrilling and we always look forward to watching all seasons. The league has also inspired many women to take up kabaddi in Iran and across the world. Hopefully, we’ll have a women’s Pro Kabaddi League soon. All our players are very excited to be a part of it and take women’s kabaddi to the next level.”
