Abhishek Bachchan has bought a Rajasthani Kabaddi team called Jaipur Pink Panthers. These players will play in the upcoming Pro-Kabaddi league.

Abhishek has an emotional attachment to this sport and that is the reason behind his involvement in this sport. He says as a kid Amitabh Bachchan introduced him to this game and Abhishek went on to play the game as astudent of Delhi.

Starting tomorrow, the PKL will be played on a caravan basis with the eight teams - representing eight cities - in the fray, playing each other twice.
The tournament will have 60 matches and will be aired on Star Sports 2 and simulcast on Star India's Hindi movie channel, Star Gold. The tournament will also be streamed live on Starsports.com
