#1 Bengal Warriors continue their remarkable turnaround
The Bengal Warriors, who finished the 2015 season in a dismal sixth position, continued their impressive display in the third season of the league. The Warriors regaled the home crowd with some mesmerising kabaddi as they regained their spot at the top of the table upon the completion of the leg.
The Warriors are a rejuvenated unit this time and the players’ mutual understanding has been outstanding – almost telepathic. Much of the credit for their success goes to their devastating raider Nitin Tomar, who now sits at the top of the leaderboard having amassed 49 raid points. His efforts have been perfectly complemented by the team’s star defender Girish Ernak, who has completed 21 successful tackles.
With 5 wins and just 1 loss, the Bengal Warriors are clearly one of the teams to beat this season.
