Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five reasons why Haryana Steelers can claim the trophy

#5 Local Support

The Steelers will benefit from the huge fan base in Haryana

Haryana is the hotbed of kabaddi in India, and Sonepat is a factory that churns out quality kabaddi players each year. Thus, the support and loyalty that the team will garner from the native crowd will be immense. What also works in the team's favour is the fact that most of the key players also hail from Haryana.

This will surely boost the morale and the confidence of the players. Mohit Chillar, in his interview with Firstpost, said, "In Haryana, people are just crazy about kabaddi. When the (Pro Kabaddi) matches will happen in Sonipat, with all the players playing, it's going to be quite an atmosphere. I don't know how everyone will get a chance to watch the matches. Even the capacity of 10,000 is not going to be enough."
