Need both experienced and young players, says Sunil Kumar ahead of PKL auction
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 28, 2025
As the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 auction approaches on 31 May and 1 June, U Mumba's captain Sunil Kumar is preparing for what he believes will be one of the most competitive bidding wars in recent memory.
The veteran defender, who led his team back to playoff glory in Season 11 after a seven-year drought, is optimistic about building an even stronger squad for the upcoming campaign.
"I am hopeful about the auction," says Kumar, reflecting on the team's preparation strategy. "The team management has made a plan, and we will go beyond that. We hope that we will get a good team."
