Pro Kabaddi League Season: Champions in 2019, the Bengal Warriors are all set to make a final dash for a playoff spot as they play four matches in quick succession during their home leg in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10. The Warriors, who are currently at the ninth spot, will be up against the Gujarat Giants at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, here on Friday.

Ahead of the start of their home leg, the Bengal Warriors captain Maninder Singh said during a press conference, "We are very happy to be back home in Kolkata after 4 years. Our fans are our lucky charm, and we haven’t lost here since I joined the team.

"We always really enjoy the support from the home crowd, and we have noticed the encouragement from the fans helps raise our levels. So much so that whenever we come here, even if we aren’t doing that well, our form changes quite a lot. So, this year also, we want all of you to come to support us so that we can have four great games,” he said.
