Abstract
The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has played a pivotal role in transforming Kabaddi from a traditional sport into a highly popular professional league format, attracting mass viewership across India and abroad. The sport’s visibility has further risen with the recent victories of both the men’s and women’s national teams at the Asian Games, which have significantly boosted public interest and fan following. Against this backdrop, the present study focused on examining the performance of the Gujarat Giants (GG) team across five PKL seasons, specifically from Season 5 to Season 9. A total of 166 matches were analyzed, and performance indicators such as Total Points, Total Raids, Total Raid Points, Total Tackles, and Total Tackle Points were taken into consideration. To determine whether performance varied between seasons, an ANOVA test with LSD Post-Hoc analysis was employed. The results revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in all key performance areas across the seasons, highlighting the dynamic nature of team performance. This type of performance analysis is crucial for Kabaddi, as it offers insights that can inform team strategies, enhance player development, and support data-driven decision-making for coaches, analysts, and management. Ultimately, it strengthens competitive preparation in an evolving professional sports landscape.
