Bengal Warriors after winning the ProKabaddi League title in 2019

Defending champion Bengal Warriors has more or less retained the core group that won the side the title in 2019. The team's auction strategy has been conservative given that main players Maninder Singh and Mohammad Esmaeil Nabibakhsh were among those retained. Abozar Mighani is an interesting addition to this side. The Iranian defender comes in post a stint with the Telugu Titans.

Here's what the squad for the Bengal Warriors looks like after the three-day auction.
