Ever since the Pro Kabaddi League 2022 auction ended, there is only one question in the minds of the kabaddi fans – When will PKL 9 Start? It is the ninth edition of the tournament, and it promises to be the best one, with 12 teams participating in the competition.
The 12 teams which are a part of the PKL this year are the Telugu Titans, Puneri Paltan, U Mumba, Gujarat Giants, Haryana Steelers, Tamil Thalaivas, Bengaluru Bulls, Patna Pirates, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Dabang Delhi KC, Bengal Warriors and UP Yoddhas.

The biggest one being that former Bengaluru Bulls captain Pawan Sehrawat has now moved to the Tamil Thalaivas. Similarly, former U Mumba skipper Fazel Atrachali is now a member of the Puneri Paltan team.
