While Bengal will miss the Maninder's services on the mat and his ability to lead a team with a cool head, the team's raiding efficacy is unlikely to be affected considering names in its ranks like K. Prapanjan, Sukesh Hegde and Mohammed Nabibakhsh who starred for the side through the league stage and in its semifinal clash against U Mumba.

While Maninder seemed eager to feature in the summit clash, the Bengal Warriors' physio was unsure about his unavailability for the game. He will have to cheer his team in its bid for a maiden PKL title from the sidelines.

It's heartbreak for #ManinderSingh, who was stoked to be part of a historic game for the @BengalWarriors. He will be cheering his side from the bench tonight after being ruled out of play due to a shoulder injury. #DELvKOL#VIVOProKabaddi
