The Maha Mumbai Kabaddi League has been making waves in the Indian sports scene since its inception in August 2022. This franchise-based tournament, organized by SportVot in association with Ganesh Krida Mandal, has reached its final week and the playoffs and finals are scheduled from August 26 to 28. The tournament takes place at the Sports Complex in the University of Mumbai’s Kalina Campus.
One of the most unique aspects of this league is that it is not restricted to players from a particular age group, gender, or economic background. With 12 franchises participating in the tournament, including 4 women’s teams, the league has managed to include everyone in its development. This inclusivity is a breath of fresh air in a country where many athletes are often left behind due to their backgrounds or economic status.
The league has garnered a lot of attention for its young players. Neel Akhade, an 11-year-old boy, became the youngest kabaddi player to play in a professional league, impressing everyone with his skills on the field. Other young players such as Neha Pandav, Sayali Ingale, Ankit Yadav, and Om Kudale have also caught the eye of spectators with their impressive performances.
The league’s popularity can be attributed to its unique approach towards the sport. By including players from different backgrounds and ages, the league has managed to attract a diverse group of fans. In a country where kabaddi is a popular sport, the Maha Mumbai Kabaddi League has managed to stand out from the crowd.

Key players like Komal Deokar, Nikita Utekar, Harjeet Sandhu, Shubhada Khot, Akash Gaikwad, Bharat Karangutkar, and Akash Arsul have lived up to their reputations and impressed fans with their performances.
The league has also been an opportunity for women to shine in a traditionally male-dominated sport. With 4 women’s teams participating in the tournament, the league has managed to create a platform for women to showcase their skills. Players like Komal Deokar and Nikita Utekar have impressed everyone with their performances, proving that women can hold their own in kabaddi.
The league has also been a boost for the local economy, with the influx of players and fans boosting business in the area. The league has been a welcome addition to the sports scene in Mumbai and has provided a platform for local talent to shine.
The playoffs and finals promise to be an exciting affair, with fans eagerly awaiting the results.
