One of the emerging left cover defenders of Pro Kabaddi, 'The Bulldozer' Mahender Singh had a brilliant season last year with 63 tackle points in 24 matches at an average of 2.63 tackle points with his diving holds and body blocks.

Supporting him in the cover defense will be Ashish Sangwan whom the team management has shown faith upon for many seasons now. He has become a vital member of the team with him understanding the game in the defensive aspect of the side.

Amit Sheoran emerged as the team's dependable left corner in season 6 where he scored 38 tackle points in 15 matches. He became a prominent defender for the team and the upcoming season promises to become much better with the mix of talent and experience of the inaugural season.

The team has signed Raju Lal Chaudhary yet again for the upcoming season along with Vijay Kumar who is a former Services player and has represented Patna Pirates in the past. The team paid 21.25 lakhs to Vijay who could get considered if things don't work well with Raju Lal Chaudhary.

The team with a young defence, Bulls have filled their line-up with all potent stars who are match-winners on their own. It will help the raiders to perform freely without any pressure.

Bengaluru Bulls also have Mohit Sehrawat (right cover), Aman, Sandeep, Saurabh Nandal (left corner), Ajay and Amit in their team as substitutional picks.

While the raiders win matches for Bulls, it could be yet again the defense that leads them to win the tournament in Season 7.
