After announcing a mega Rs 300 crore title sponsorship deal for five years with smartphone manufacturer, Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) promoters Star India yesterday vowed to take it to every nook and corner of the country, especially to the Northeast.


Following the success of newly-crowned I-league champions Aizawl FC, Star India Managing Director Sanjay Gupta said he is confident of finding rich talent in the Northeast and hopes to capture the opportunity in the near future.



"This country is about youth, who are not only interested in watching kabaddi but also be a part of it. This whole country is bursting with talent, youngsters who want to participate in many sports, including kabaddi," Gupta said after revealing that the upcoming fifth season of the league will see the addition of four more teams, taking the number to 12.
