The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) side, Bengal Warriors have begun their season 10 campaign on a high as they clinched their first win over Bengaluru Bulls by a close margin of two points. Maninder Singh, as expected, was the top player for the side, as he managed to get 11 points for his side.
It’s going to be a long season, but given the Bengal-based team’s calm and poised start, there’s a good chance it may finish at the top of the standings.
The Bengal-based PKL team has emulated a similar performance commercially as well by bagging multiple well-known brands as sponsors.
Apurv Gupta, Senior Vice President, Contact Sports, Capri Sports, said, “The 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League is truly an iconic and landmark one, and the Bengal Warriors family is extremely proud to have been part of such a journey right from the get-go. We are excited to partner with – DafaNews, Kajaria Ceramics, Royal Green, Zee News, League 11 and Big FM as our key brand partners. We are confident that this association will deliver great value to each of our partner brands.”
Let’s peek into the sponsorship portfolio of the former PKL champions for the landmark 10th season:
For the ongoing PKL season, the K. Baskaran-coached team has extended ties with DafaNews as the team’s front-of-the-jersey sponsor. DafaNews is a prominent online sports news platform that gives users renowned sports news, results, and schedules for games from the greatest leagues and competitions from every corner of the world.

The Royal Green emblem will be displayed on the right sleeve of the team jersey. The accurate blend of premium Indian grain spirits uses quality malt that has aged in the best oak barrels with imported scotch, resulting in a rich and spacious Royal blend.
Virat Maan, Chief Executive Officer, ADS Group, commented, “We are excited about this association with Bengal Warriors, one of the most formidable teams in the Pro Kabaddi League. Royal Green as a brand that embodies a perfect blend of success and quality finds synergy in Kolkata’s Pro Kabaddi League team Bengal Warriors, who are the perfect blend of strength, tenacity, agility and endurance.
