For the Kabaddi Season 6 Champions Bengaluru Bulls, they will try to get their hands on the prestigious PKL title in the 12 season after a faint campaign last season.
Before the 12 PKL season, Bulls Randhir Singh Uhrahuwat released from his duties as the head coach after ending at the bottom of the Season 11 League with 19 points out of 22 games. The legendary Randhir Singh has been the head of bulls since the inaugural season and led them to play -offs in six out of 11 seasons.
The double coach of the PKL BC RAMESH title joined the Bengalur team as his new head coach. BC Ramesh was an assistant to the bull coach during their winning campaign in 2018-19. He will return to the franchise after led Bengal Warriorz (Season 7) and Punter Paltan (season 10) to PKL triumphs.
For Kabaddi League: complete schedule
Under their newly named head coach, the bulls were one of the busiest teams in the PKL Season 12 auction and completed the main reworking of a platoon with a lot of exciting talents. After spending CRORE INR 4.949 CRORE in the auction, Bulls added a total of 15 players, in addition to leaving eight new young players (NYP), in their offer for the title PKL Season 12.
With this in mind, let’s judge the strengths and weaknesses of their team before the season 12.
Strength
Bulls’ impressive defensive unit will be their greatest force in the upcoming edition for Kabaddi. They strengthened their defense by obtaining the services of the right corner of Yogesh Dahiya at the Auction of the Season 12 for the incredible INR 1.125 CRORE – the most expensive Indian defender in the history of PKL auction. Yogesh was one of the consistent defenders in the last two seasons of PKL and accumulated 149 points in 45 matches.
The PKL Season 6 winners further strengthened their defense by doing to the experienced left corner of Ankush Rathee at its basic price inr 30 LAC. Immediately the impact on season 9 and won the best Defender Award in the first year. With 227 points of solutions in 69 games remains one of the most convenient and feared defenders PKL.
Bulls also set off the right cover of Sanjay Dhull for INR 60 LAC and the left DHEERAJ cover for INR 40.20 LAC at 12 players’ auction.
In addition, they like Lucky Kumar (right cover), Deepak with (left corner), SHUBHAM RAHATE, Manish and SatyAppa Matti (right cover) are some of the other talented defenders in their team.
Weakness
While their defense looks strong on paper, Bengaluru Bulls’s attack leaves very desirable.
Before the auction of the season 12 players, the bulls retained young robbers Pankaj and Maleet. They also added the right Raider Aashish Malik from the category of nominated new young players to the upcoming season.
Bulls invested inr 53.10 Lakh in Raider Akash Shinde in auction. While in the season 9 he was the best Raider for Punter Palltan with 139 RAID points and in 57 PKL matches recorded a total of 296 raids, the group lacks other established robbers with proven success in the league.
Although Pirates Srisivatejesh (left raider), Ganesha B. Hanamantagol (Right Raider), SHUBHAM BITAKE and MAHIPAL in their ranks remain to see if these robbers can increase their game in the coming season.
Opportunity
After two consecutive seasons of league outputs, the appearance of bulls will now try to recover the PKL trophy under the leadership of the double head coach PKL BC RAMESH.
Akash Shinde will also have the opportunity to assert its dominance and appear as a key figure in the Bulls raid unit this season.
The upcoming season will also offer a perfect platform for those such as rising stars such as Aashish Malik, Dheraj, Shubham Bitake, Alireza Mirzaeian and Ahmadrez Asgari to show their talent and make a mark in the league.
Threat
The bulls will be without a strong character leadership in their team in the PKL 12 season, which could be the main threat in Crunch Match due to lack of experience on the mat.
In addition to the holidays, the leadership is a lack of experienced robbers for the team for the team and could prevent their chances to secure the bed on the play -off. As a result, the bulls can find themselves strongly relying on Akash Shinde, with pressure on their young and relatively unsupported robbers to get out and support the attack on their pressure on the top surface.
