Dabang Delhi KC won the Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 championship, but after that, the team has not become champions even once. Despite having some of the best kabaddi players in their squad, Delhi have failed to qualify for the final in the last two seasons.
Naveen Kumar and Ashu Malik will continue to play for Dabang Delhi KC in PKL 11, but the majority of the other players have been released from the franchise ahead of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction. With Naveen and Ashu in the squad, Delhi have one of the best raiding duos of the tournament. They need a solid defense lineup which can support Naveen and Ashu now.
Before the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction gets underway, here's a look at the three players Dabang Delhi KC should target.
Trending
#1 Dabang Delhi KC should aim to recruit Mahender Singh at Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction
Left cover specialist Mahender Singh is one of the top defenders available in the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction. Mahender was a part of the U Mumba squad last season, and he earned 31 points for his team.
Before joining U Mumba, Mahender represented the Bengaluru Bulls in multiple seasons. Overall, the left cover defender has the experience of 126 PKL matches, where he has earned 298 points. Notably, he has recorded 17 High 5s and also executed 32 super tackles.
A defender like Mahender can solve a lot of problems for Dabang Delhi in their defense. It should not be a surprise if the Delhi-based franchise bids aggressively to secure the veteran defender's services at the PKL 2024 Auction.
#2 Vaibhav Garje
Dabang Delhi KC also need to sign a right cover defender at the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction. The Delhi-based franchise will likely have Vaibhav Garje's name on their wishlist for that position. Most of the teams will target Sunil Kumar, which is why Delhi should play smart and target Garje.
Last season, Garje earned 53 points in 22 matches for the Bengal Warriorz. He had a tackle strike rate of 39%, which is quite decent for a right cover defender. The combination of Mahender and Vaibhav can solidify Delhi's defense in the 11th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League.
#3 Jang Kun Lee
In case you didn't know, Pro Kabaddi League's best Korean raider Jang Kun Lee is making a return to the tournament this year. Lee has registered himself for the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction, and fans across the kabaddi universe are excited for his return.
Although Lee did not feature in the recent PKL seasons, he has maintained his fitness. He has also shared clips of himself practicing kabaddi in Korea. As mentioned earlier, Delhi have a fantastic pair of raiders in Naveen Kumar and Ashu Malik.
The team management should look for a reliable supporting raider to complete the unit. Jang Kun Lee can be a phenomenal addition to the team. For the record, the Korean raider earned 496 points in his 106 PKL appearances from Season 1 to 7.
