Jaipur, Sep 11 (UNI) Bengal Warriorz will look to return to winning ways when they face the Tamil Thalaivas in their first game of the Jaipur leg of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 on Friday, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The Bengal Warriorz, who are a young side, with plenty of talent and hunger in their ranks, will be looking to gain back some momentum in Jaipur.
Building up to the Jaipur leg and the game against the Tamil Thalaivas, Bengal Warriorz Defence Captain Nitesh Kumar said, “After the Vizag leg, we are keen to make a big impression. We were making small mistakes in our previous games, but we have trained hard and worked hard since last match. We have seen match videos, analysed our mistakes and also our next opponent’s. We will do our best to win.”
While the start to the season has not been ideal, Nitesh underlined that the team is not disheartened. “Yes, we have not had a good start to our season, but it’s still the early stages of the league and the team will bounce back. I am confident that the team will do well when we play in Jaipur in our game against the Tamil Thalaivas,” he said.
