'I Dreamt Of Being On TV And Pro Kabaddi League Gave Me That Chance,' Says Rohit Kumar
Pro Kabaddi League Player Auction: The Pro Kabaddi League is on the cusp of starting its landmark tenth season this year, and Rohit Kumar, who scored 102 raid points to help the Patna Pirates clinch their first-ever title in 2016, shared the importance of television broadcasting of the league.
"The League being broadcast on national television was a big deal for us. I used to see other sportspersons on television and I used to wonder when my time would come," he said.
Speaking about the growth of kabaddi over the last nine seasons through the Pro Kabaddi League, Rohit said, "The competition got off to a great start nine years ago and it's getting bigger with every season. We have received a lot of love and support right from the first season. PKL has grown the game of kabaddi tremendously. Now, wherever we go, people recognize us and ask for photographs. Once I met a fan who even had a tattoo of my face on his shoulder. The Pro Kabaddi League gave kabaddi players a new lease of life in 2014."
