Using the nations’s love for cricket as a marketing tactic the channel has successfully created buzz for the coming season of Pro Kabbadi League which is to kick start on July 20.
Integrating Kabaddi onto the largest cricketing platform by the network is an effort to showcase the growth of the league and to introduce popular Kabbadi heroes like Pawan Sehrawat, Pradeep Narwal, Ajay Thakur and Rahul Chaudhari.
Vivo Pro Kabbadi League has since its first season come a long way and has managed to win the hearts of the viewers around the world time and again.

While Irfan Pathan and Brett Lee indulged in a friendly Kabaddi mach during the pre-show Philips Hue Cricket Live for the ICC Cricket World Cup, Stephen Fleming played and motivated a talented group of young kabaddi players.

Star Sport’s initiate of brining cricketing fans closer to Kabaddi is one-step towards the sport growing leaps and bounds with every passing season through clever marketing initiatives, including branding during ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 to launching the main thematic campaign “ISSE KICH TOUGH NAHI” for VIVO PKL 7 during the games. The network has left no stone unturned in creating enough pre season buzz for the big opening on July 20 in Hyderabad.
