Pro Kabaddi League 2025 is scheduled to commence from August 29 with the first game between Telugu Titans and Tamil Thalaivas. The day will have another game which will be played between Bengaluru Bulls and Puneri Paltan. On the eve of the start of the new season, the organisers have chosen young batting sensation of Rajasthan Royals from Indian Premier League, Vaibhav Suryavanshi to launch Pro Kabaddi League season 12.

August 29 also happens to be the National Sports Day and the Vaibhav who garnered immense attention as the youngest players to score a century in IPL will do the proceedings for Pro Kabaddi League season 12. Hailing from Bihar, Vaibhav rose to the occasion against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. The 14 year old scored 101 in just 38 balls to create a record of its own.
