The Pro Kabaddi League is back with the sixth season of the tournament which would start on 7th October and the final will be played on 5th January. A total of twelve franchises would be competing for the coveted title.
The champions of the inaugural season of the Pro Kabaddi League have only made it to the playoffs once in the last four years and would be looking for better their performances in this edition of the tournament.
The Abhishek Bachchan-owned franchise decided to completely revamp their squad as they retained zero players from the previous season. They went all out in the auctions as they bought the hotshot Deepak Hooda, who cost them 1.15 crore rupees. They also spent big on defenders such as Sandeep Dhull and Mohit Chhillar, who collectively cost them about 1.25 crores. The young South Korean defender, Chang Ko will be seen alongside these two marshaling the defence of the Jaipur-based franchise.
They also went for experienced names like Anup Kumar, who cost them a mere 30 lakhs. The clear-out also means that Jasvir Singh, who played for Jaipur in all the five seasons till now, will be representing the Tamil Thalaivas in this edition of the PKL. The Pink Panthers would be hoping to not miss the valued experience of Jasvir Singh.
After assembling a great squad, the Jaipur Pink Panthers would be hoping that a repeat of last season does not happen, when they had a good squad but the season turned out to be a failure.
The Jaipur Pink Panthers would be facing U Mumba in their first match of the season which would see Anup Kumar face a team that he captained for four straight years, helping them reach the playoffs in the first four seasons.
