Fazel Atrachali, captain of the PuneriPaltans, who played the final of the 2022 Pro Kabaddi League against the Jaipur Pink Panthers has described the impact of the league on the lives of players. The Iranian defender has also had extensive experience in the league as a player who has played with U Mumba, the Patna Pirates, the Gujarat Giants and PuneriPaltans.

According to Atrachali, the PKL has changed the life of kabaddi players, as kabaddi often does not involve much money, but the PKL has provided players with both money and fame, which has helped them provide for their families. Previously, with insufficient financial support, players could be forced to quit the sport after a few years or face challenges related to training equipment and facilities, while currently they can look after their own needs as well as their families.

Atrachali has has also noted that communication can be a challenge at the PKL, as there are players from Iran, Korea and Japan, but most of the communication involves Hindi. Atrachali has also helped fellow players struggling with their conversational skills, including HeideraliEkrami of U Mumba, whom he gave an English book to a few months before the current season, so that he could learn some important words.
