This paper aims to apply network analysis to all players who have participated in the Indian Pro Kabaddi League since its inception. The Kabaddi network has been constructed based on the number of teams and players they have played with. The players have been ranked with the help of the degree and PageRank algorithm. Small-world phenomenon is observed in the Kabaddi network. The significance of the player performance has been compared with the player rank received by the network analysis.
