The excitement for the event is palpable as the event will serve as a talent scouting ground for Pro Kabaddi League teams as the Auction for season 11 is set to happen in a few months.

Most of the teams have announced their squads for the event and are expecting their players to be without niggles or injuries. It is a short tournament with multiple matches in a single day.
