On April 21, the second matchday of the KMP Yuva Kabaddi Series 2023’s Promotion Round, there were close games and a lopsided match, with Kolhapur, Ahmednagar, Mumbai Shahar, and Pune winning their respective matches against Mumbai Upnagar, Nanded, Nashik, and Thane.
Ahmednagar, Mumbai Shahar, and Kolhapur, the top three teams, are unbeaten in this round; however, Mumbai Upnagar, Nanded, and Nashik have yet to start a winning streak. In one of their two league games, Thane District and Pune District have each earned a single victory.

He asserted that it is necessary to pursue Kanaram’s goals in the present. In honour of Kanaram, the student organisation SFI holds a kabaddi competition each year.
