The Puneri Paltan side have been one of the best units in the first week of the Season 11 of the PKL, and head coach BC Ramesh is understandably mighty delighted about that. The defending champions defeated the Haryana Steelers first, and then romped past the Patna Pirates in their second game in PKL 2024.

And amid the joyous moments, the Puneri Paltan coach wills for the inclusion of Kabaddi at the Olympics in the coming years. BC Ramesh touched upon how he sees the sport of Kabaddi progressing in the future, and thanked PKL for being a supportive pillar for the sport.

"For me, the PKL and Kabaddi is important, and I believe the sport will make a lot of progress, and sooner or later, it should reach the Olympics, and that will be huge. The sport of Kabaddi was not very famous earlier, but today thanks to Mashal Sports and the PKL, the players have become stars, and it is very nice to see that. Kabaddi is on the rise, and we will all work hard to ensure the sport keeps on growing," he said to PKL.

Kabaddi, despite being a massively popular sport in India, has very less exposure around the globe. Although PKL has made a massive upward push for the sport, it still looks some distance away from taking the next step.
