PKL 2025: Bengal Warriorz – Strengths
Bengal Warriorz have the strength in the attack or raiding unit. Apart from more than INR 2 crore valued Devank Dalal, they also have the Indian players like Sushil Kambrekar, Vishwas S, Himanshu, Manprit, Punit Kumar, and Rachit Kumar. Also, not to forget two big foreign names, the Iranian Omid Khojasteh Mohammadshah and the South Korean Jang Kun Lee, popularly known as the “Scorpion Kick King.”
PKL 2025: Bengal Warriorz – Weaknesses
Bengal Warriorz’s defence is very inexperienced, which can be a big concern for the PKL 7 champions. While they used the FBM cards to bring back experienced defenders Nitesh Kumar and Mayur Jagannath Kadam, others need to provide support. Also, Warriorz have a lack of good all-round options, as one of their two all-rounders, Moolchandra Singh will make his PKL debut this season.
Final Verdict
The Bengal Warriorz enter PKL 2025 with one of the most exciting raiding line-ups in the tournament. Their investment in Devank Dalal and the addition of overseas stars like Jang Kun Lee could make them a dangerous side in attack. However, their inexperienced defence and shortage of quality all-rounders may prove to be stumbling blocks in their pursuit of another title.
If the defenders step up and the raiders deliver consistently, Bengal Warriorz could well return to the playoffs in PKL 2025.
