Ajay Thakur and Rahul Chaudhari: The heroes of PKL

Ajay Thakur, celebrated for his legendary raids and leadership, has been a big name in kabaddi, leading India to an Asian Games gold. Rahul Chaudhari, often called the ‘Showman’ of kabaddi, made history as the first player to surpass 1000 raid points in PKL and was instrumental in India’s 2016 Kabaddi World Cup triumph.

After going unsold in the PKL 2024 season, Rahul Chaudhari decided to retire from Kabaddi, ending his prestigious 14-year-old career as a player in the sport.

Ajay Thakur’s Emotional Connection to Kabaddi

Ajay Thakur expressed his excitement, saying, “It’s an absolute honour to join the expert panel for PKL Season 11. Kabaddi has been my passion since childhood, and staying connected to the sport even after retirement feels like a true blessing. I’m deeply grateful to Disney Star for trusting me with this opportunity to be the voice of PKL this season. I look forward to sharing my insights and love for the game with the fans who have supported me throughout my journey.”

Rahul Chaudhari’s dream comes true

Rahul Chaudhari also shared his enthusiasm, stating, “I’ve always dreamed of sharing my kabaddi journey on the grandest stage, and now, being a part of the broadcast, I have the chance to do just that. Fans will get to experience PKL from my perspective, and I’m excited to give them a deeper look into the game that has shaped my life. With the best kabaddi talent on display, Season 11 is set to be unforgettable.”

Star-Studded Commentary Team for PKL Season 11

Along with Thakur and Chaudhari, the Hindi commentary team will feature prominent names like Sanjay Banerjee, Ocean Sharma, Harshit Sharma, Prasad Kshiragar, and Mohit Choudhary. Meanwhile, Navneeth Krishna and Stalin Mathias will lead the English feed, providing nuanced commentary and making sure fans stay connected to the thrilling kabaddi action throughout the season.
