PKL 2015 winners U Mumba are set to begin their journey at the Pro Kabaddi League 2023/24. The Mumbai-based franchise is desperate to come back to their popular dominant shape in the PKL 10.
U Mumba played three straight finals in the first three PKL seasons, where they won their only PKL trophy in 2015. Although they played one Semi-Final (2019) since then, they never experienced another PKL final.
In the last two PKL seasons, U Mumba finished in 10th place and 9th place, respectively.
