PKL 10: U Mumba Team Profile

This time the team's defense is looking quite balanced and strong.

U Mumba's journey in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has been filled with ups and downs. It's worth mentioning that they are the only team that made it to the finals in all three seasons of the league's beginning. However, after winning the title in the second season, the team's performance has been inconsistent. Since winning the title for the second time, they haven't been successful in winning the trophy again. It's clear that the team's level has declined.

If we talk about the 9th season, U Mumba won only 10 out of 22 matches, which is quite different from their actual performance. In the 10th season, U Mumba hasn't made significant changes to their team, so it will be interesting to see how they perform this time. Let's take a look at U Mumba's strengths and weaknesses before the start of PKL 10.

U Mumba's Strengths

There are many options in the raiding department

U Mumba has retained several raiders from the previous season, which is a good sign. They have a total of 11 raiders, which can benefit U Mumba in the upcoming season. Notably, they successfully acquired their star raider, Guman Singh, using an FBM card during the auction. Guman performed well in the previous season, and he can play a crucial role for the team this time. In addition to Guman, the inclusion of Iranian raider Alireza Mirzaei and players like Jai Bhagwan and Pranay Rane can also boost the team's performance.

U Mumba has taken a gamble by adding experienced players like Girish Ernak to their squad. This indicates that the team aims to strengthen its defense this time. Girish's presence will boost the team's confidence, and the defense might take on a new look.

U Mumba's Weaknesses

Choosing the right combination will be crucial

U Mumba has numerous options in both the raiding and defense departments for the upcoming season. However, while this flexibility can work in the team's favour, it can also pose challenges. U Mumba needs to find the right combination to avoid potential difficulties that could hinder their qualification for the playoffs once again.

Players to Watch

In raiding, Guman Singh is the one to watch, while in the defense, star players like Girish Ernak hold the key to U Mumba's success. Both of these experienced players can significantly impact the team's performance, making them the center of attention. U Mumba is well aware of their importance, which is why they added them to their squad during the auction. This season, the performance of these two players will be critical, and all eyes will be on them.
