PKL 11 season gets underway on October 18 in Hyderabad, it is important to note that all the teams are going through a string of changes before the Pro Kabaddi season. The squads have changed considerably and so have the captains and the coaches. So, it becomes imperative to know, who are the skippers for all teams.
Interestingly, Dabang Delhi is the only side that has officially named two captains — Naveen Kumar and Ashu Malik. For a change, after a long time, Bengal Warriorz have moved on from Maninder Singh as their Pro Kabaddi captain, and roped in Fazel Atrachali.
What comes as a major surprise is, Telugu Titans, despite finishing last in the PKL points table last time around, have persisted with Pawan Sehrawat, as their leader of the pack. UP Yoddhas have also thrown in a major surprise by not brining in Pardeep Narwal as the captain, but instead opted for Surender Gill — the all rounder.
