The Pro Kabaddi League 2024 is all set to enter the playoff stage of the competition, starting Thursday, December 26, at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pune. After 62 days of enthralling action, fans have finally found five of their six playoff teams - Haryana Steelers, Patna Pirates, Dabang Delhi, UP Yoddhas, and Jaipur Pink Panthers. Also, five teams have been officially eliminated, namely, Puneri Paltan, Tamil Thalaivas, Bengal Warriors, Gujarat Giants, and Bengaluru Bulls, leaving only two teams—U Mumba and Telugu Titans—both with 66 points each, fighting it out for the final playoff spot.
While the Titans have completed their 22 matches, Mumba still have two games to go, and even a loss by fewer than 7 points in those two games will be enough for them to secure the final spot. Notably, despite five of the six playoff teams being confirmed, there is still no line-up for who will face whom in the playoffs, as the last four days of the competition could bring significant changes to the points table.
