After performing brilliantly in the last two seasons, Pro Kabaddi League Season Nine champions Jaipur Pink Panthers are ready to contend for the silverware in PKL 2024 with a new and improved squad following the official auction in Mumbai earlier this year. But what should their fans expect from the two-time champions in Season Eleven? Here is the SWOT analysis of the Panthers’ squad for the new season.

Strengths
The inaugural and two-time champions Panthers made expected moves by retaining several of their key stars ahead of the PKL 2024 auction. The retention list included names like Arjun Deshwal, Reza Mirbagheri, and Ankush, who were the team’s top performers in recent editions. Having them back for Season Eleven means they will begin their campaign with a balanced squad, reducing the need for early experimentation.
Weaknesses
The Panthers released their captain, Sunil, before Season Eleven. Despite a balanced squad, the absence of an experienced leader on the mat could affect the team’s performance under the new set-up.
Opportunities
While Sunil’s departure leaves a leadership void, it provides players like Arjun and Reza with the opportunity to step up and demonstrate their capability to lead, in addition to their on-field contributions.
Threats
The Panthers appear heavily reliant on their star players and lack depth in terms of consistency. Though they have signed well-known names such as Vikash Kandola and Sombir, these players’ inconsistent performances could pose challenges for the team.
Jaipur Pink Panthers Full Squad
Arjun Deswal, Reza Mirbagheri, Ankush, Abhishek KS, Abhijeet Malik, Surjeet Singh, Ritik Sharma, Ronak Singh, Sombir, Nitin Kumar, Amir Hossein Mohammadmaleki, Arpit Saroha, Shrikant Jadhav, Vikash Kandola, Neeraj Narwal, Mayank Malik, Aamir Wani, Ravi Kumar, Lucky Sharma, K Dharanidharan, Navneet
