Dabang Delhi KC vs U Mumba: Pro Kabaddi League 2024-25 Showdown

The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is set to commence its 2024-25 season on October 18, with an anticipated matchup between two former champions, Dabang Delhi KC and U Mumba. The clash will take place at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad, the venue for the second match on the league’s opening day.

Dabang Delhi KC has maintained its core group of players, retaining many who featured prominently in the previous season. Last year, the team performed admirably with 13 wins out of 22 matches, securing 79 points and finishing third overall in the PKL standings. Despite their strong regular season performance, they fell short in the knockout stages, losing to Patna Pirates in the Eliminator.

U Mumba, the champions of the PKL’s second season, have struggled to replicate their early success in recent years. Last season, they managed only six victories in 22 outings, ending up in 10th place on the points table. Ahead of the new season, U Mumba has opted to retain their head coach, Gholamreza Mazandarani, and has made several squad adjustments in hopes of better results in PKL 11.

The match between Dabang Delhi KC and U Mumba is scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. IST and will be broadcast across India on the Star Sports Network. Additionally, fans can stream the game live through the Disney+Hotstar app and website.

Both teams have been finalizing their squads ahead of the match. The Dabang Delhi KC lineup includes notable players such as Naveen Kumar, Siddharth Sirish Desai, and Mohit. Meanwhile, U Mumba features players like Shivam and Manjeet in their squad, alongside some new additions.
