PKL 10: U Mumba full squad
There are several star players in the team.
U Mumba has not undergone many changes for the 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 10). It's almost the same team that played in the previous season. Speaking of big names, Girish Ernak was bought by the team during the auction this time. They also acquired Mahender Singh during the auction. In addition, they used the FBM card for Guman Singh. U Mumba's defense is looking even better this time, with the addition of Girish Ernak and Mahendra Singh to the team.
U Mumba purchased a total of 9 players during the PKL auction, including two defenders, two all-rounders, and the rest raiders. They also acquired two Iranian players during the auction. U Mumba had tried to acquire many star players, but they had to step back due to budget constraints. U Mumba has a good mix of youth and experience in their team this time. Let's find out who all are part of U Mumba's team this time.
Guman Singh was retained in the raiding department
U Mumba's raiders are largely the same as last time. Jai Bhagwan, Guman Singh, and Pranay Rane were retained. Iran's Heidar Ali Akrami is also a strong raider. Guman Singh was released before the auction, and there were substantial bids for him. Guman Singh received bids of up to 85 lakhs during the auction, but U Mumba used the FBM card to acquire him again.
Guman had performed well in the previous season, and the team will have high expectations from him this time too. U Mumba also acquired Iranian all-rounder Alireza Mirjalal in the auction, for a bid of 16 lakhs and 10 thousand. This time, the team has a total of 11 raiders, with 5 on the right and 6 on the left. U Mumba has several options in their raiding department.
Girish Ernak will strengthen the defense
During the auction, U Mumba acquired experienced defender Girish Ernak. They bought him for a sum of 20 lakhs. Additionally, they also included Mahender Singh in the team by placing a bid of 40 lakhs and 25 thousand. Iranian all-rounder Amir Mohammad Jafar Danesh was also bought at a considerable price, with a bid of 68 lakhs.
The team had already retained players like Surender Singh, Shivansh Thakur, and Shivam Thakur. As a result, U-Mumba's defense is looking strong this time. The team has good options in the left cover and right cover positions.
