BENGALURU BULLS Kabaddi Team is a franchise of Pro Kabaddi League preparing to win the 2022 trophy with their new team line-up. The BENGALURU BULLS have had iconic moments and also experienced defeats since their debut in 2014.
Their first two seasons indicated a promising club with a winning streak but in their third season, the team fell from grace. They struggled to take back their place in the league in subsequent seasons until their breakthrough in 2018, when they won the Pro Kabaddi League Trophy.
The club is known for its star players, good head starts, and consistency. With another season coming up, we wonder if this club will allow victory to be a one-time or continuous event for them.
BENGALURU BULLS is a franchise of the Pro Kabaddi League created in 2014. It is owned by Kosmik Global Media and is located in Karnataka. The pro kabaddi Bangalore club plays home matches at the 4000 capacity Kanteerava Indoor stadium. Randhir Singh is the club's head coach and the team is captained by Sehrawat Kumar.
The club has played in 130 matches; 60 wins, 8 draws, and 62 losses. In 2014, the team had an impressive game from the start and finished 4th. In 2015, they were the runner-up after losing to U-Mumba. The subsequent seasons were a string of losses. In 2017, they recovered by winning 4th place in Zone B.
For the 2018 season, the club revamped the team, bringing in lead players like Kashling Adake, Mahender Singh, coupled with existing players like Pawan Sehrawat, Rohit Kumar, the Bangalores won the championship. And Pawan Sehrawat won the title of MVP.
With a great victory last season, the club may likely bring the trophy home again.
The line-up for the 2022 Pro Kabaddi League contest is impressive and we are looking toward a tough season. The club bought 10 players in addition to the 5 retained ones. 3 of the 10 new players are foreigners. Below is a table of the 2022 squad consisting the Bengaluru Bulls players’ names and positions.

The BENGALURU BULLS Team is owned by Kosmik Global Media, an Indian film production company. Uday Sinh Wala is the CEO of the company. The squad has been under the ownership of Kosmik Global Media Company since it started in 2014.
The team is coached by Olympic medalist Randhir Singh. The former railway worker has been the team's coach since the club began. He is a famous coach who has won many medals as a coach and as a player. Randhir is known for training young players for greatness and it is hoped that he can boost the Bengaluru Bulls Scores on the points table. He has a great eye for fishing out stars like Pardeep Narwal.
Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is the 2022 captain of BENGALURU BULLS where he plays presently. He was introduced into the pro kabaddi club in 2016. He succeeded Rohit Kumar who was the former captain before he was sold. Pawan led his team to win the 2018/19 Pro Kabaddi League Trophy for the first time. He won the Most Valuable Player title for the 6th season.
With a team formation filled with young and vibrant players, it would be hard for opponents to take the trophy away from the BENGALURU BULLS Squad.
However, the team's history cannot be ignored. The squad is known for having a good headstart in their matches but by the middle of the games, they experience drawbacks. Perhaps this new team formation will maintain consistency, which the Bull was once known for.
When it comes to selecting good players, we must recognize the prowess of Coach Randhi. From the squad list, a good investment has been made to secure A-list players. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat, Mahender Singh, Chandran Ranjit are great players to look out for. Teamwork between these three and the rest of the team is sure to produce tremendous results for the franchise team, making fans expectant.
An increase in raid points by Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and a strong defence with perfect assist from his team this season will give the Bengaluru Bull a greater chance of winning this year's trophy.
BENGALURU BULLS Kabaddi player and a raider, Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is the Captain of the Club for 2022. Pawan led the 6th season victory for the PKL trophy and made the club quite successful. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat scored more points than any player in a PKL final.
Kosmik Global Media owns the Bengaluru Bull Franchise. Kosmik founded the BENGALURU BULLS in 2014, and the club has some of the best players in the league. Kosmik Media supports the pro kabaddi Bengaluru Bulls team to reach greater heights in every possible way.
