With the homecoming of the most successful raider in Pro Kabaddi League’s history, Pardeep Narwal, and the addition of multiple exciting new talents, coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat’s Bengaluru Bulls are ready to replicate their performance from season six in PKL 2024 and win their second title. Bengaluru Bulls will start their campaign with the season opener against Pawan Sehrawat’s Telugu Titans on Friday, October 18. But what can fans expect from this new Bulls squad? Let’s try to decode the mystery with the help of the SWOT analysis of the team ahead of the new season.
Strengths
Raiding is going to be a strong zone for the season six champions during PKL 2024, as players like Pardeep Narwal, Ajinkya Pawar, and Jai Bhagawan provide the Bulls with both left and right raiders who can become handy in the season.
Weaknesses
While raiding will be a strong suit for the Bulls, the lack of experienced players in defence might become an issue for coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat in PKL 2024. Saurabh Nandal will be the only big name in their defensive line-up, meaning they will have to find a quick answer as to who will be taking the mat along with Saurabh to get the best possible start to the season.
Opportunities
The biggest opportunity for the Bulls would be, as quoted by coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat, to show Pardeep Narwal’s real potential to other teams. Sehrawat believes that every other coach just used Pardeep after giving him the initial boost during season two, but in PKL 2024, he will show everyone what Pardeep is capable of doing.
Threats
While the Bulls have a good overall squad for the upcoming season with some big names joining the fray, the form of these big names will be a point of concern. If these players fail to play at their full potential, the team will not have much to fall back on.
Bengaluru Bulls full squad
Ponparthiban Subramanian, Sushil, Rohit Kumar, Saurabh Nandal, Aditya Powar, Akshit, Arulnanthababu, Parteek, Ajinkya Pawar, Pardeep Narwal, Lucky Kumar, Manjeet, Chandranaik M, Hasun Thongkruea, Pramot Saising, Nitin Rawal, Jai Bhagwan, Jatin
