Raider Sukesh Hegde who cost the Warriors ₹20 lakhs will be instrumental for the Kolkata-based franchise in the upcoming season, while Jeeva Kumar who was bought for a price of ₹31 lakhs will help to fortify the defense.
Bengal Warriors have been a side that has risen consistently - albeit slowly, with every season, and will hope that their acquisitions which amounted to approximately 320 lakhs will help them scale the summit in the forthcoming edition of the League.
Rakesh Narwal, who the Warriors spent ₹16.25 lakhs on, will help build an aggressive raiding unit alongside Hegde, while Rinku Narwal who was bought for ₹20 lakhs will play a key role in defence.

Subhashish has been an Indian sports journalist at Sportskeeda since 2017. He primarily covers hockey along with other Indian Sports, and endeavors to bridge the coverage gap between the multitude of Indian sports and cricket via his articles. Subhashish’s interest in Indian sports peaked after watching a few hockey and football matches live during his childhood days, and has also played Hockey, Football, Table Tennis, Badminton at school and college level.
As a journalist, he covered every single Indian hockey match at the 2018 & 2022 Commonwealth Games, 2018 & 2023 Asian Games, 2018 Women's World Cup, 2018 & 2023 Men’s World Cup and the 2021 Olympics. An interview specialist, he has conducted over 100 interviews with the Indian Men's and Women's Hockey team, and has also been part of the UK-based DesiSportsCast Podcast.
Subhashish’s favorite Indian athlete is Vandana Katariya for her relentlessness and never-say-die attitude. For him, India men's hockey team's 7-1 win over Pakistan in 2017 Hockey World League semis on the same day as India men's cricket team's loss to the same opponent in the Champions Trophy final is an iconic moment in Indian Sports history.
When not writing, he likes to spend his free time blogging, singing, jogging, and trekking.
