After a thrilling run in PKL Season X, where the Gujarat Giants were one of the most exciting teams to watch, we are ready to take on the new challenges of Season 11. The first phase of matches happening in Hyderabad from October 18 to November 9. After that, the teams will move to Noida for the second phase, and the final phase will be hosted in Pune. We kick off our campaign with a clash against the Bengaluru Bulls in what promises to be a high-octane start to our season.
Looking back at Season 10, we had a solid run, making it to the Playoffs before falling to the Haryana Steelers in the Eliminator. Parteek Dahiya was the star performer for us last season. He played 20 matches and earned a remarkable 141 points, including a stunning 25-point haul in a single game. His performance was crucial to our success. He was one of our key players retained, along with Rakesh, Balaji D, Nitin, and Jitender — all players who showed immense potential in the previous season and are expected to play key roles once again.
In the recent auction, we strengthened our squad further by bringing back familiar faces like Sombir and Mohammad Nabibakhsh. We also added new talent, signing players like Guman Singh, Neeraj Kumar, and Vahid RezaEimehr. These additions bring valuable experience and skill to our team, and we are confident they will boost our chances of winning the title for the first time. Neeraj Kumar has been named captain for the season, while Guman Singh will serve as vice-captain, forming a strong leadership duo.
As for Bengaluru Bulls, they had a tough time in Season 10, finishing 8th and missing out on a Playoff spot. They managed to win just eight games, but they have bolstered their squad for this season, adding star raider Pardeep Narwal to their ranks, a player known for his game-changing abilities.
Last season, we had the upper hand against the Bulls, beating them in both encounters — 34-31 in the first match and an even more dominant 50-28 in the second. However, this is a brand-new season, and we can’t afford to underestimate them. It’s shaping up to be an exciting and action-packed contest, and we’re ready to give it our all!
