    U Mumba Retains Core Team Led By Sunil Kumar Ahead Of PKL 12 Auction

    Pro Kabaddi League Season: Ahead of the much-awaited Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 auctions, U Mumba announced the retention of nine key players and the signing of one New Young Player, with the team’s core now firmly retained and led by defensive stalwart Sunil Kumar - who is set to continue as captain - alongside crowd-favourite raider Rohit Raghav.

    The duo played a pivotal role in transforming U Mumba’s fortunes last season, blending strong leadership with impactful performances on the mat. Captain and right cover defender Sunil Kumar, who guided the team to the playoffs, ended Season 11 as the most successful captain in Pro Kabaddi League history. Alongside him, Rohit Raghav emerged as one of the season’s biggest revelations - rising from an unsold replacement to a game-changer off the bench. His remarkable tally of 68 raid points and 11 tackle points not only earned him a permanent spot in the squad but also cemented his status as a fan favourite and a key figure in U Mumba’s resurgence.

    Supporting this core are retained players like Iranian all-rounder Amirmohammad Zafardanesh (65 raid points, 23 tackle points), promising raider Sathish Kannan, and breakout star Ajit Chouhan, who impressed with 185 raid points in his debut season.
