Bengaluru Bulls, PKL Season 6 champions, aim for a comeback in Season 12 under new coach BC Ramesh. With a strong defensive line featuring Yogesh Dahiya and Ankush Rathee, the team hopes young raiders like Akash Shinde will lead the attack.
HYDERABAD: Pro Kabaddi Season 6 champions Bengaluru Bulls will be looking to get their hands on the prestigious PKL title once again in Season 12 after a lacklustre campaign last season.
Ahead of PKL Season 12, the Bulls released Randhir Singh Sehrawat from his responsibilities as head coach after finishing at the bottom of the Season 11 league standings with 19 points from 22 games. Legendary Randhir Singh was at the helm of the Bulls since the inaugural season and guided them to the Playoffs in six out of the 11 seasons.
Two-time PKL title-winning coach BC Ramesh has joined the Bengaluru-based team as their new head coach. BC Ramesh was the assistant coach of the Bulls during their title-winning campaign in 2018-19. He returns to the franchise after leading Bengal Warriorz (Season 7) and Puneri Paltan (Season 10) to PKL triumphs.
Under their newly-appointed head coach, the Bulls were one of the busiest teams at the PKL Season 12 Player Auction and completed a major squad overhaul with plenty of exciting talents. Having spent INR 4.949 crore at the auction, the Bulls added a total of 15 players, apart from retaining eight New Young Players (NYPs), in their bid for PKL Season 12 title.
With that in mind, let’s assess the strengths and weaknesses of their squad ahead of Season 12.
