New Delhi, August 21 (HS): Dabang Delhi KC is gearing up for Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 with a renewed sense of energy and ambition. The franchise has confirmed that star raider Ashu Malik will continue as captain, just as he did in the previous season. Remarkably, Ashu was the league’s top scorer in Season 11.

At only 22 years of age, Malik has not only impressed with his consistency and electrifying raids but has also emerged as a mature leader. Dabang Delhi has made it to the playoffs for six consecutive seasons, and under Malik’s leadership, the team now has its sights firmly set on clinching the championship.

Prashant Mishra, CEO of Dabang Delhi KC, said:

This season is crucial for us. Reaching the playoffs six times in a row is a big achievement, but our ultimate goal is to lift the trophy. Strong leadership is key, and Ashu has already proven himself as the right man for the job. We are confident he will take the team to greater heights.

Head coach Joginder Narwal also expressed faith in his captain:

Ashu Malik played a pivotal role last season, guiding the team forward with authority. He has established himself as a dependable leader. This season, our aim goes beyond just making it to the playoffs—we want the championship.

Dabang Delhi KC will begin their PKL 12 campaign on September 2 against Bengaluru Bulls. With Ashu Malik at the helm, the team will step onto the mat armed with fresh energy and a burning desire for victory.
