Pro Kabaddi 2022 will get underway on Friday, October 7, at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru. 12 teams, namely UP Yoddhas, U Mumba, Tamil Thalaivas, Telugu Titans, Puneri Paltan, Patna Pirates, Gujarat Giants, Haryana Steelers, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Dabang Delhi KC, Bengaluru Bulls, and Bengal Warriors will participate in this PKL edition.

A mega auction took place in August, where all 12 franchises roped in some big names to bolster their squads. Crores of rupees were spent across the two days in Mumbai.

All 12 teams have formed stellar squads this season. However, teams need to have a solid captain as well who can use the available resources to perfection.
