Bengal Warriorz (BEN) is a professional kabaddi team based in Kolkata, West Bengal that plays in the Pro Kabaddi League.[1] In 2019, they won the trophy for the first time by defeating Dabang Delhi.[2] The team is currently led by Fazel Atrachali and coached by Prashant Surve. The team play their home matches at the Netaji Indoor Stadium.

Franchise history

[edit]

Bengal Warriorz are owned by Future Group, promoted by Kishore Biyani.[3] The team had poor campaign in the first two seasons. The team's performance, however improved from the third season as they qualified for the playoffs in 2016.[4] But again after a disappointing season in the 2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (June), they totally revamped their squad. After that, the team has consistently qualified for the playoffs in 2017, 2018 and in 2019 respectively.[5][6][7] In 2019, they qualified to the PKL final for the first time in their history by beating U Mumba in The Arena.[8] In the final, against Dabang Delhi, they were trailing on 3–11 at one stage.[9] However they made a strong comeback and won the final by a 39-34 margin without their captain Maninder Singh who sustained a shoulder injury in the penultimate league stage. Thus they clinched their first ever PKL title.[10][11]
