Good evening Everyone..
Welcome to the LIVE coverage of game 1 of today’s double header played between Dabang Delhi and last season’s semi-finalist Bengal Warriors at the DOME@NSCI SVP Stadium, Mumbai. The Eagles will look to start their season 4 campaign on a positive note after what can be termed as an unforgettable season 3 while the Warriors will look to gain some momentum in their 2nd match of their season 4 campaign after losing their opening tie to Bengaluru Bulls with the lowest of margins in a thrilling opening encounter played on Matchday 2.
The Delhi-based franchise managed to win just 1 win out of their 14 league matches and finished at a dismal 8th position in the league last season. The Eagles’ management had a difficult job of assembling a more balanced side for the upcoming season 4 in order to save them the blushes this time around. They retained their only star performers from last season in Kashiling Adake and Selvamani K while brought in some experienced performers in Prashant Chavan and Iranian import Meraj Sheykh to support them at the back.
On the other hand, Bengal Warriors retained their skipper Nilesh Shinde and star defender Girish Maruti Ernak for the ongoing season 4 while roping in some of their players again in the season 4 auction in Jang Kun Lee, Mahendra Rajput and Nitin Madane. However, they had to do away with their star raider last season Nitin Tomar was signed by the star-studded Puneri Paltan side.
The Warriors has an upper hand over the Eagles in the last 3 seasons of the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi history as they lead 4-2 in the total of 6 games played between them and also won both the league matches last season. The Dabangs have to be at their ultimate best in order to trouble this much more balanced looking Warriors side.
Players to Watch out for:
Bengal Warriors: Nilesh Shinde, Jang Kun Lee
Dabang Delhi: Kashiling Adake, Meraj Sheykh
