Tamil Thalaivas are ready to bring their magic in the 11th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). The Tamil Nadu-based team has been participating in the PKL since 2017.
Since their PKL debut in 2017, Tamil Thalaivas have slowly progressed as a challenging team. The PKL 9 (2022) is the only season where Thalaivas have qualified for at least the eliminators. In the PKL 2022, Thalaivas reached the semi-finals but lost the semi-final against Puneri Paltan.
In the last PKL season (PKL 2023/24), Tamil Thalaivas fought hard and finished in ninth place.
