PKL 2021 Bengaluru Bulls Team And Auction Mantra For Season 8

If you are a Kabaddi fan, if would definitely know that the Bengaluru Bulls is one of the most closely followed team in the PKL ahead of the 2021 season

So it’s no wonder the fans would like to see their team back in action for the new season. According to reports the new season is stated to begin in the second half of July. The auctions for the next season are also reported to be held soon. This article analyses Bengaluru Bulls past performances and tries to predict which players they might retain ahead of next season.

Bulls Performance in the Last Two Seasons!

Bengaluru Bulls won the 6th edition of the PKL on the back of impressive performance of Pawan Kumar Sherawat, also known as the fly man. Pawan made a name for himself as a raider in the season challenging Pradeep Kumar of Patna Pirates for each point throughout the season. Pawan’s brilliant performance meant that there was less pressure on Rohit Kumar, the captain of the side.

Rohit played freely and acted as support raider. The defence also did well in season 6 for them.

The last season though wasn’t great for Bengaluru Bulls, they reached the play offs on the back of yet another massive season for Pawan, but got beaten by Dabang Delhi in the play offs. Pawan was their star raider, he scored a massive 359 raid points. Rohit Kumar had a below par season which meant there was no other raider to support Pawan in that department.

The defence played well, as Mahendra Singh secured 62 points for the team. He was their best defender. He was ably supported by Saurabh Nandal and Amit Sheron who scored 56 and 48 points respectively.

Bengaluru Bulls had the team to win back to back titles last time, but they had to exit from the play off.

Bengaluru Bulls PKL 2021 Team: What Might be Their Strategy for Season 8?

They might give a thought about retaining their captain Rohit Kumar, but they might take a gamble and might use FBM for him. One other player who should fancy his chances to be retained is Mahendra Singh. He could be the second player to be retained.

Bengaluru Bulls raiding department was a concern last season so they would be looking to fix that in the upcoming auctions. They might look to buy Sachin or Vikas Khandola who had impressive seasons for their respective teams. They also might look to strengthen their defence and might go for Ran Singh.

Pawan Kumar Sherawat might be itching to get into the mat, now that he has had enough experience with Instagram reels.
