The captain said, “Rahul and I have been playing together for Team India for some time now and we share great chemistry. But this is the first time that both of us will be seen together in PKL. I believe it is going to be great for our fans.

Telugu Titans skipper Abozar Mohajermighani said, “Our team is made up of strong raiders, a formidable defensive line, and some good coaches. You can call us the strongest team in the competition. Our players are fit and have been practicing continuously for the tournament. We aim to win one match at a time.”

The U Mumba captain Fazel Atrachali said, “We fought hard last season and we will continue to do the same this year as well. This season we also have youngsters with us who have shown great dedication and promise.”

Jaipur Pink Panthers captain Deepak Hooda said, “We have 8 to 9 youngsters in our team this year and the new talent will certainly bring some energy and help the team win matches. We have been practicing very hard and the youngsters have shown the right intent and hard work necessary to play games at this level.”

Delhi Dbangg Captain Joginder said: “Our performance last season was very encouraging, and the team has been training with the same energy and passion for the last one-and-a-half months. Last season, the only place we lacked was our defense and we’ve worked hard to make sure we don’t repeat the same mistakes. Last year, we made it all the way to the semifinal and this year we hope to make it to the final.”

Defending champions Bengaluru Bulls’ skipper Rohit Kumar said, “All teams are extremely competitive, but I believe Gujarat Fortunegiants and Tamil Thalaivas are our strongest competitors this season. This year we aim to win the maximum number of matches and even if we lose, I will hope to lose with the minimum difference. The 45-day long camp has made us train and practice extremely hard and with that intensity, we will prepare for the match against Patna Pirates on Saturday.”

Meanwhile, newly appointed Puneri Paltan skipper Surjeet Singh said, “We have a very good combination of both senior and young players this season which makes us a very strong team as we have the best of the talent. We have practiced on our skills and techniques to make sure we give our best on the mat.”

Gujarat Fortune Giants skipper Sunil Kumar said, “This season, just like last season, we have got a lot of new young talent which we believe will be our secret weapons. They will not only enthrall and surprise the audience but also our opponents on the mat. We are putting all our efforts to make sure we win the final this time.”

Nitesh Kumar, Captain, UP Yoddha said, “Being the youngest captain is not added pressure for my game and performance. My goal for this season is to ensure that I put in 100% into my game and prove myself as well as ensure that the team makes it to the finals.” International Champions Cup Standings 2019
