Breathless Kabaddi
The success of the Pro Kabaddi League has been an eye-opener for the “other side” of television executives and audiences long disdainful of this Indian sport.
Just before the final action of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), there arrived a piece of television and marketing genius, much like the entire event itself.
