The Pro Kabaddi League organisers have planned to hold an exhibition All-star match between Indian 7 and World 7 ahead of the start of the seventh edition. The match will be played on July 13, around a week before the commencement of the league at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.

The seventh edition of the Pro Kabaddi League will be played from July 20 in Hyderabad with home team Telugu Titans taking on U Mumba in the first game. Defending champions Bengaluru Bulls will be in action in the second game of the evening when they will meet three-time winners Patna Pirates.

As many as 173 domestic players and 27 international players would be a part of the seventh season of the Pro Kabaddi League as 12 franchises battled it out in the auction. Over 50 crores were spent over a period of two days with Siddharth Desai getting the highest bid in his move to Telegu Titans.
