Co-owned by Future Group, a conglomerate, and Akshay Kumar, a notable celebrity, the Bengal Warriors have the best of both worlds of business and entertainment for their success. The co-owners promote grassroots development by supporting Kabaddi at the grassroots level.”

With their ‘Bengal ka Tiger’ tagline, the Bengal Warriors have definitely stood firm with bravery and strength against opponents in the past PKL Seasons.

Fans are expecting them to come through with more prowess in the 2022 season, after the two-season break by the global pandemic.

The pro kabaddi Kolkata players have, since their low rise at the inaugural PKL Season in 2014, proven themselves to be worthy opponents. Though their performances did not boost immediately, the subsequent years showed significant improvement.

By the 2017 PKL, the Warriors had become the top team in Zone B; they lost the cup. In the seventh season of the PKL, the Bengal Warriors won the league cup under the coaching of BC Ramesh.

PKL Bengal Warriors

The Bengal Warriors started out in the PKL on a very low note. Their performance in the inaugural season was so bad that they could not qualify as one of the top four teams of the season. In the second season of the PKL, they had still not found their footing and ended up performing woefully.

Bengal Warriors began to do better as a team when the 2016 PKL season came around. Their scores on the point table were not as strikingly bad as before, and they were able to use that as motivation to do better.

By the 2017 PKL, Bengal Warriors had made it into the position of the top zonal team, but a 44-47 scoreline saw them defeated by the Patna Pirates at the qualifiers stage of the season.

And in about two years, the Bengal Warriors were able to win the much-besotted PKL title.

This dedication has fans anticipating an amazing performance by the team this year. They are expected to defend and protect the title they worked so hard to get and we can only wait to see how their efforts turn out!
