Pump manufacturers Kirloskar Brothers Ltd becomes the co-sponsor of the Puneri Paltan team for the fifth season of the Pro Kabaddi League.
The fifth season of the Pro Kabaddi League scheduled to be held from July 28 to October 28, 2017.
Anurag Vohra, India Business Head said the popularity of the Pro Kabaddi League is growing year-on-year with the franchise garnering the second highest viewership in the country after cricket.
“It’s truly a matter of pride and honour for an India-based company like KBL to be associated with a traditional Indian sport like Kabaddi as there is a natural commonality between the two. Kirloskar Pumps has been irrigating rural agriculture fields since 1926 and the origins of Kabaddi can also be traced back to the early 20th century rural India. Both embark a sense of “Make in India” feeling, and yes, both are representing Pune on the global stage,” he added.
The Pro Kabaddi League is a franchise-based professional kabaddi league in India founded in 2014 and, this season, will feature a total of 12 teams.
Pune-based Puneri Paltan team was second-runner up in the last season. The team will be led by Deepak Niwas Hooda in season 5.
