PKL 10: U Mumba predicted starting 7

The team's defense is looking quite settled this time.

U Mumba is one of those teams in the PKL whose performance has been fairly consistent. This team won the PKL title in the second season, but since then, they haven't been able to win the trophy again. The team performs well every season but struggles to progress beyond the playoffs. In the 9th season, U Mumba won 10 out of 22 matches and had to face defeat in the remaining 12 matches. They were placed 9th in the points table. If U Mumba had won two more matches, they would have qualified for the playoffs.

U Mumba bought a total of 9 players during PKL 10 auctions. They used an FBM card for Guman Singh and also acquired players like Girish Ernak and Mahender Singh. Consequently, U Mumba's team is looking well-balanced for the upcoming PKL season. Let's find out the expected starting seven for U Mumba in the upcoming PKL season.

U Mumba showed confidence in Guman Singh once again in the auction

During the auction for the 9th season, U Mumba had purchased Guman Singh at a high price, and that's why the team released him. During the auction, there was a bid of only up to 85 lakhs for Guman Singh, and the team used an FBM card to reacquire him. Therefore, Guman Singh will lead the raiding department once again. In the previous season, he earned 137 points in 18 matches and was ranked 16th in the Red Points table. He is a reliable raider.

This time, the team has a total of 11 raiders, including 5 right raiders and 6 left raiders. U Mumba has several options in the raiding department. Jai Bhagwan and Haidarali Akrami can be given a chance as second and third raiders. Jai Bhagwan had earned 75 points in 19 matches in the previous season and was ranked 27th in the overall raiding points table. The team retained him, so he is expected to be in the starting seven. U Mumba had also retained the best Iranian raider, Haidarali Akrami, who earned 34 points in 12 matches in the last season.

There are several options available in the defense

U Mumba's defense is looking quite strong this time. Surinder Singh was already present as the right cover. Now, Mahender Singh has also joined as the left cover. In addition to this, they have experienced players like Girish Ernak in the left corner position. Rinku Sharma is in the right corner, and the team retained him. Therefore, U Mumba's defense is already well-set. If these players don't perform well, they have options like Somvir Goswami and Shivansh Thakur. However, it is unlikely that there will be many changes in the starting seven. Surinder and Rinku performed exceptionally well for the team in the previous season. The team will expect Girish Ernak to make the most of his experience.

U Mumba's predicted starting seven for PKL 10:

Raiders - Jai Bhagwan (right raider), Guman Singh (left raider), and Haidarali Akrami (left raider).

Defenders - Surinder Singh (right cover), Rinku Sharma (right corner), Girish Ernak (left corner), and Mahender Singh (left cover).
