PKL 10: Who is Kapil Gurjar, Bengal Warriors' replacement for injured NYP Darpan?

The team has received a big blow with an in-form defender’s injury.

The team Bengal Warriors, who have been consistently facing defeats in the 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 10), has suffered a major setback. The team’s main defender, Darpan, has been ruled out of the remaining matches due to an injury. In his place, young defender Kapil Gurjar has been included in the Bengal Warriors team. Speaking of Darpan, in the 10th season of PKL, he played a total of 9 matches for Bengal Warriors, earning 13 points. However, now he is out, and the right cover specialist Kapil Gurjar has been given the opportunity.

Kapil Gurjar had an excellent performance in the Youth Kabaddi Series

Regarding Kapil Gurjar, he has participated in several major tournaments. He took part in the 2021 Senior Nationals. Besides, recently, he also participated in the Youth Kabaddi Series. During that period, Kapil Gurjar scored 32 points in 14 matches in the Summer Edition. His success rate was more than 46 percent. In the Monsoon Edition, he scored 12 points in 7 matches. Looking at these statistics, it can be said that Kapil Gurjar can prove to be an excellent defender for Bengal Warriors.

Bengal Warriors’ performance in PKL 10 has not been good

Speaking of Bengal Warriors, their performance has not been up to the mark in this season so far. They have won only three out of ten matches, facing defeat in five. However, the positive aspect of Bengal Warriors is that they have played two tied matches. The challenge with Bengal is that they are not performing consistently. While captains Maninder Singh, Nitin Kumar, and Shrikant Jadhav are contributing points in raiding, they are not getting support from the defense. In this situation, it will be interesting to see whether the team can improve its defense after Kapil’s arrival.
