Further encouraging everyone are guest participation from Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty and wrestling star Sangram Singh, whose participation would surely bring in more glamour and sports lovers to the occasion.
Introducing Kabaddi to a New Audience
To engage the audience based in the Gulf, RKL has developed simple animated explainer videos teaching the audience how to play Kabaddi. It is in line with this that this initiative seeks to bring another set of fans to understand the dynamics of Kabaddi so that they can appreciate it fully.
Shubham Choudhary, the founder of RKL, views this match as a pivotal step for the sport: “The ‘exhibition match’ is going to be used as a fundamental platform for the Kabaddi sport to make foray into the gulf countries, and going by the reaction, people are going to love it.”
Highlighting Emerging Talent
The exhibition match also shows the seriousness of RKL in the process of developing fresh and untapped talents. As Co-Founder Lavish Choudhary remarked:
“The idea after RKL remains to seek fresh, crude, and country unknown new talent and give them platform identity.”
Since its inception RKL has supported the raw talent of Kabaddi, three seasons in India and worked for the upliftment of rural players.
