Pro Kabaddi League: U Mumba captain Sunil Kumar scripted history as his team defeated Bengaluru Bulls, equaling Fazel Atrachali’s record for most wins as a captain in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history, with both players having 73 wins to their name. With Sunil Kumar spearheading them, U Mumba clinched a thrilling win against Bengaluru Bulls, with a scoreline of 34-32, at the Noida Indoor Stadium here on Monday.
Expressing his thoughts after etching his name in the history books, Sunil Kumar said, “No, I wasn’t thinking about the record before the game because I didn’t remember it. I only wanted to get the win for the team. It was important to win because teams like Jaipur Pink Panthers, Puneri Paltan, and Telugu Titans are close to us in the points table. So, it was crucial to win today. I never thought about equalling a record or anything along those lines.”
He also put forward his ambitions for the remainder of the season, expressing his desire to win the trophy for U Mumba. “U Mumba haven’t won the trophy since the second season and haven’t been able to make it to the playoffs in the last 3-4 seasons. So, the aim is to qualify and win the trophy for U Mumba,” Sunil Kumar said.
