#2 More international Kabaddi matches/series
Kabaddi has gained popularity among international players and also seen a notable increase in the viewership among other countries as well. The concept of a franchise-based Kabaddi tournament like PKL has inspired a lot of nations to conduct their leagues with broadcasters and required resources to promote talents from the grassroots level.
The Kabaddi Masters tournament held in Dubai in 2018 was an inaugural step of hosting a 6-nation Kabaddi series outside of India. It was the first time when international Kabaddi got organized in the UAE comprising of India, South Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Argentina, and Kenya. Broadcasted by Star Sports, the league was a success where pre-favorites India defeated Iran 44-26 to win the inaugural edition.
Such leagues help a lot of countries revive the sport of Kabaddi within their territory. Just like Cricket, where one nation tours the other to play a series, the same concept in Kabaddi could help the younger generation to show interest in the sport. It would also help the less-experienced nations to learn and gain more experience to uplift healthy competition among all nations.
