Our local kabaddi tournament used to be played on the pond's dried-up bank—no federation, no sponsors, just a dusty circle and the boys' own rule: "jo bhi pakdo, pakdo, par zameen pe mat girao." Now the big sports brands want to turn it into a "corporate league," with proper mats and insurance forms. I wonder who will be left out when the spotlight moves from the village pond to the air-conditioned hall.

Arre, those mats and insurance forms won't stop a real player—jo zameen pe gira nahi sakta, woh mat pe bhi nahi girega. But I've seen data from a similar league in Gurgaon: the sponsors brought proper coaching and a bus to take kids to district trials, and the village's best boy got a job in the railways. Let the market decide—if the corporate league pays for more chai stops and school fees, the dusty circle will still be there for the ones who only want Sunday games.
