Mumbai: The much-awaited tenth season of the Pro Kabaddi League is almost upon us, and the Bengal Warriors, one of the founding teams in the competition are putting in the hard yards, and preparing with great gusto, as they aim to land the title.
The Bengal Warriors, who won the championship in 2019, will understandably be keen on yet another title, and while the players, the management and the fans would be delighted at that, it would also be a source of great joy for the team’s brand partners, who have got their exclusive spots on the uniform.
Coached by the legendary K. Baskaran, the Bengal Warriors, who recently released a new jersey, will continue to wear the sports gaming news-only website DafaNews’ logo as the front of the jersey partner. Meanwhile, on the back of the jersey, the Warriors will have the Kajaria Ceramics logo.
On the right arm, the Maninder Singh-led team will sport the Royal Green logo and on the left sleeve, it will sport - the League 11 logo. One of India’s leading news organisations, Zee News, have acquired the rights for their crest to be on the shorts. Last but not least Big FM logo will be on the nape of the jersey.
“At Kajaria Ceramics, we are aligned towards to helping the Indian sporting ecosystem, and the Bengal Warriors have continuously shown an aptitude towards the upliftment of indigenous sports. The Warriors always put in their very best at every step and leave it all out there, which is something that is inspiring of sorts for us,” said Kajaria Ceramics Ltd JMD Rishi Kajaria.
