Pro Kabaddi 2023 (PKL 10) will get underway on December 2. Ahead of the new Pro Kabaddi League season, all 12 teams added some major names to their squad at the auction, which took place last month.

The goal of every franchise is to build an unbeaten streak in the tournament and lift the championship. However, not everyone is successful in doing so because almost every franchise has equal strengths and weaknesses.

While avoiding defeats in back-to-back matches for a long time is quite difficult in a tournament like PKL, it is not entirely impossible. Back in 2016, U Mumba built an unbeaten streak of 11 matches during season three. To date, U Mumba owns the record for the longest unbeaten streak in PKL.

Here are the results of their next 10 matches:

  1. U Mumba 29 - 27 Puneri Paltan.
  2. U Mumba 32 - 21 Bengal Warriors.

The unbeaten streak started on February 10, 2016, at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata. It ended on March 5, 2016, at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi.

Which team ended U Mumba's unbeaten streak of 11 matches?
