The Pro Kabaddi League kicks off on June 25th and UMumba is prepping for the season with snazzy new jerseys, courtesy Adidas.
The season 3 finalists open campaign with a match against Abhishek Bachchan’s Jaipur Pink Panthers in their opening game in Pune.
Season 4 preparations for the Mumbai franchise kicked off with a thrilling auction that saw new blood join the team with Captain Anup Kumar and the tournament’s best raider Rishank Devadiga being retained.
Rakesh Kumar and Jeeva Kumar were bought back by the franchise to bolster the experience quotient with Surender Singh, Vikas Kale, Gurvinder Singh and Sunil amongst the new entrants to the team along with two of the best SSCB players – Surjeet and Vikash Kumar to make a super well balanced team that aims to win. While the makeup of the team certainly appears different, it will be a test of character for the highly successful outfit that has reached the finals in all three Star Sports Pro Kabaddi editions so far, clinching the title on home turf in Season 2.
