Vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9: Who Will Dabang Delhi Retain For PKL 9?
In the season eight finale, Dabang Delhi KC defeated Patna Pirates to win their first Pro Kabaddi League title. The Delhi-based franchise had finished second the previous season, but this time made it to the finals thanks to a strong showing by its raiders. The Patna Pirates had a chance to make history by becoming the first team in the Pro Kabaddi League to win four titles. However, the Pirates succumbed by only one point against Dabang Delhi KC in the summit showdown, missing out on a huge chance. Throughout the Pro Kabaddi 2022 season, the Pirates were still quite outstanding.
Dabang Delhi, unlike other teams, but their confidence in their older players, which helped them win. They had a seasoned defense and youthful raiders who turned out to be game-changers. The club will be looking forward to the ninth edition of Pro Kabaddi now that Pro Kabaddi 2022 has concluded. They will want to keep some of their key players from their championship team.
Right now, updates about the upcoming PKL Season 9 are scarce, but that does not leave fans from speculating and keeping the buzz of the upcoming season alive and kicking. Those into kabaddi betting are also excited about how the upcoming seasons would kick-off.
That being said, here are some of the player’s fans and experts predict that Dabang Delhi is rumored to retain for the upcoming new season.
Naveen Kumar
Naveen Kumar was an important part of Dabang Delhi’s success this year. He was the team’s number one raider. Kumar finished the season with 207 raid points despite missing multiple games due to injuries. He appeared in 17 games for the squad, 12 of which he scored a Super 10. Dabang Delhi is likely to keep him for season nine due to his incredible consistency.
Joginder Narwal
Dabang Delhi KC’s fortunes in the Pro Kabaddi League have shifted thanks to captain Joginder Narwal. The Delhi-based franchise has always fared well since he became captain. The Dabangs used to have a hard time winning games in a season. Narwal, on the other hand, has turned Dabang Delhi into a champion squad. The experienced defender’s continuation as Delhi captain in PKL 9 should not be surprising.
Vijay
In Pro Kabaddi 2022, Vijay backed Naveen Kumar to victory. In the absence of Kumar, he also did a good job as the primary raider. In 23 games, the emerging star scored 157 raid points for an average of 6.83.
In the PKL 8 final, Naveen Kumar and Vijay combined for 27 points, guaranteeing the Dabangs’ victory over the Pirates. The combination should also appear in PKL 9.
Manjeet Chhillar
Manjeet Chhillar has battled ailments in recent seasons, but he has worked hard to improve his fitness. In Pro Kabaddi 2022, he appeared in all 24 games for Dabang Delhi. In the PKL 8 final, he was the most successful defender.
Chhillar finished the game with 52 tackle points, two High 5s, and two amazing tackles. In the absence of Joginder Narwal, he also led the squad as captain. Delhi might give him a new contract based on his performance as a player and leader.
Sandeep Narwal
In season eight, Sandeep Narwal was a utility player for Dabang Delhi KC. He was a secondary raider, a corner defender, and a cover defender. Narwal stood up whenever the squad needed someone to step up and provide the goods.
Although he did not have a High 5 or a Super 10 this season, his 64 points were crucial in Delhi’s championship victory.
