Pro Kabaddi 2021: From Pawan Sehrawat to Naveen Kumar, here are the top 5 performers of PKL season 8 so far
Here’s a list of the top 5 Kabaddi stars who have absolutely lit up the stage of (Pro Kabaddi League) PKL season 8 with their impeccable performances.
After 49 matches and four weeks into the season, PKL 8 has some exciting clashes and finishes. It is resuming after a two-year hiatus courtesy of the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19, which resulted in the world standing still.
The question then emerged: how can a contact-sport like Kabaddi survive in a pandemic world with numerous protocols in place? Rules such as the bio-bubble, matches being played behind closed doors, and necessary guidelines were doubtful of being implemented. Fast forward to January 2022 and we are at the halfway stage of the tournament, which is already panning out to be an interesting PKL season in the making.
