Opportunities
Just one semifinal appearance in three attempts is all that Bengal Warriors have to show against their name and they would be itching to better that performance. They always have had the ammo to do that but it’s a matter of all of them clicking together as a unit. Captain Nilesh Shinde’s efforts have to be lauded in that respect as he led the team admirably well in the first half of the third season when the team was battling injuries to win five out of their first six games.
The captain will also have a shot at going the distance with Bengal Warriors, specially as the team has managed to hold on to the core that helped them finish with 9 wins in the last season.
Vishal Mane is an experienced campaigner and having turned out regularly for U Mumba, he can make a big impact as he knows the champion side like the back of his hand and brings with himself a winning mentality to the Bengal Warriors.
