PKL S12 Explodes: Triple-Headers Start in Delhi; Puneri Paltan on Top After Dramatic Tie-Breaker

PKL is Blowing Up and Here’s Exactly Why

So, you’ve probably noticed ‘PKL’ trending everywhere on October 15, 2025. Yeah, with over 50,000 searches, it’s not just you. The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 is hitting its final, most intense phase in Delhi, and the action just got cranked up to a whole new level.

Key Takeaways

  • The PKL Season 12 Delhi leg has switched to a triple-header format from October 15, meaning three matches daily.
  • Puneri Paltan just shot to the top of the points table after a nail-biting tie-breaker win against Dabang Delhi K.C.
  • The Grand Finale is officially set for October 31, 2025, at Thyagaraj Stadium in Delhi.
  • Looking ahead, the Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League (UPKL) Season 2 auction is scheduled for November 3, 2025, with a massive ₹1.2 crore pool.

The Delhi Leg Just Got Wilder

Look, the playoffs are almost here, and Mashal Sports isn’t messing around. The Delhi leg, which kicked off on October 11, has now shifted gears. Forget two matches a day. Starting October 15, you’re getting three back-to-back matches every single day. More kabaddi, more drama. It’s that simple.

This is all happening at the Thyagaraj Stadium, which is basically the heart of the action leading up to the Grand Finale on October 31. The pressure is on, and every single point matters more than ever.

Matches That Are Getting Everyone Talking

But honestly, the reason for the buzz is the sheer drama on the mat. Let’s talk about Puneri Paltan. On October 13, they clashed with Dabang Delhi K.C. in a match that went right down to a tie-breaker. It was an absolute nail-biter, but Puneri Paltan held their nerve and clinched the win, a victory that propelled them to the top of the PKL points table. What a statement.

And it didn’t stop there. The very next day, October 14, the Haryana Steelers pulled off an incredible comeback win against the Patna Pirates. It was a team effort, but two players stood out. Jaideep Dahiya was a wall in defense, pulling off a ‘High Five’ with his tackles, while raider Shivam Patare was unstoppable, completing a ‘Super 10’. That’s how you win crucial games.

Beyond PKL: The Kabaddi Universe is Expanding

Just when you think the excitement might cool down after the PKL finale, there’s more. The Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League (UPKL) is gearing up for its Season 2. Mark your calendars for November 3, 2025, because that’s when the player auction goes down in Noida.

And it’s getting bigger. The league is expanding to 10 teams, welcoming the Aligarh Tigers and Kanpur Warriors. They’ve shortlisted 500 athletes who will go under the hammer for a total prize pool of ₹1.2 crore. The season itself is set to kick off on December 25, 2025. So, who do you think will make the biggest splash in the PKL finals and the UPKL auction? Let the debates begin.
