After a gap of more than a couple of years, the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League will be back on 22nd December. Our favourite Kabaddi stars will battle it out in Bengaluru to get their hands on the coveted and the most prestigious trophy as the 12-team tournaments returns for its 8th edition. 

Star Sports have launched a new advertisement featuring one of India’s biggest sporting icons MS Dhoni motivating people of different age groups to retaliate against the evils in our society ranging from bullying to harassment. The ad also features a young Kabaddi player who gets overcoming his pain to play for his side. The heart-warming stories encapsulate how Kabaddi as a sport teaches you to never back down although the pressure will be high more often than not. 

The tagline #JoBhidegaWohBadhega was launched as Dhoni announces the return of the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League on our TV screens.
