Bengal Warriors, a well-known professional kabaddi team from the heart of Kolkata, West Bengal, has made waves in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) with remarkable performances. As they gear up for the upcoming PKL season, the team is focused on strengthening their roster to reclaim the championship glory they achieved in the 7th season of the league in 2019.
The Bengal Warriors franchise is owned by Capri Global, a company known for its commitment to sports and promoting talent at the grassroots level. The team is led by the experienced and agile captain, Maninder Singh, who has been instrumental in their success. Alongside him, K. Baskaran takes on the head coach role, guiding the team with his strategic insight and expertise.
The previous season of PKL saw the Bengal Warriors finishing in the 11th position, undoubtedly disappointing the team and fans. The team has launched a mission to construct a better, more competitive roster for the upcoming PKL 2023 season, with an eye on the future and a desire for growth. Some players were released during the PKL 2023 Auction, and strategic acquisitions were made.
