An old rivalry!

The Bengaluru Bulls v/s U Mumba is a rivalry that goes as far back as the second season of PKL. The Mumbai-based side had then defeated a star-studded Bulls including the likes of Manjeet Chillar and Ajay Thakur in the final to clinch their first-ever title.

Things have changed a lot since then. While the Bulls have unearthed their own star in Pawan Sehrawat, U Mumba's captain cool then is now in the Puneri Paltan dugout as a coach.

Bengaluru Bulls v/s U Mumba

Two former champions - Bengaluru Bulls and U Mumba, will kickstart PKL 2021. It certainly is going to be a battle of titans between the two captains - Pawan Sehrawat and Fazel Atrachali.

While Pawan was the best raider last season, Fazel was the best defender. The former, however, outplayed the Iranian quite easily when the two met last season. Will the Sultan have his revenge today?

Goood Eveninggg!

A new season of the Pro Kabaddi League is finally upon us, albeit in a bio bubble sans the crowd. But, it doesn't really seem to have any impact on the players with all the captains seeming fairly confident about their chances in the pre-tournament press conference yesterday.

There were some brilliant strategies employed during the auctions around four months prior. All the teams have had multiple camps since and are raring to go. 

So, who will come out on top this season? Will the Bengal Warriors be able to defend their crown? Or will the Dabangs of Delhi get their revenge? Or will a certain Puneri Paltan and Tamil Thalaivas turn their fortunes around?
