Bengal Warriors, who are the defending champions of the Pro Kabaddi League, will leave no stone unturned to repeat the last season, hoping to lift the prestigious trophy once again. The team, led by Rishank Devadiga and guided by the Arjuna awardee coach BC Ramesh, has shown character to be the ultimate champion of the tournament. Warriors have made it to the playoffs four times and one title to their name.
By retaining players such as Maninder Singh, Ravindra Ramesh Kumawat, and Rinku Narwal, the Warriors have taken a step in the right direction. With Abozar Mohajer Mighani, Sukesh Hegde, Sumit Singh, and Rishank Devadiga, they have strengthened their raiding unit.
Once again, the team's performance will depend on Maninder, the striker who has 700 points in just 79 matches and scored 10 Super 10s last season. However, all-rounder, Esmaeil will add strength in the defense unit along with Mighani.
