Haryana Steelers, a professional kabaddi team based in Panchkula, Haryana, has been a part of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) since Season 5. JSW Sports, a part of the Jindal South West (JSW) Group, owns the franchise. As they prepare for the PKL 2023 season, Haryana Steelers are determined to rebuild their squad and return to the forefront of kabaddi excellence.
The Haryana Steelers have faced a series of underwhelming performances over the last five seasons. Qualifying for the playoffs just once, the team has grappled with inconsistency and a struggle to secure a prominent position in the league standings. In the most recent two seasons of PKL, Haryana Steelers finished in the 7th position, reflecting their need for a strategic overhaul.
Haryana Steelers have made significant changes to their squad in their pursuit of success in the upcoming PKL 2023 season. Before the PKL 2023 auction, the franchise retained only one Elite player and seven young players, signalling a fresh start and a focus on nurturing emerging talents. One of the notable moves was releasing their captain and experienced raider, Meetu Sharma. They will focus on selecting strong players who can complement their core and contribute to the team’s resurgence.
