Talking about the Dabang Delhi KC, Saumya Khaitan, CEO, Dabang Delhi KC said, “Creating a balanced squad was of utmost priority for Season IV. At player auctions, we were able to create a defining balance in our team with the experience of senior players and the energy of the young, unchallenged players who are itching to prove their metal in PKL Season IV. Our coaching staff has been bolstered by the addition of Sagar Bandekar as the head coach and Prashant Mokal as the Assistant Coach.
Their collective range of knowledge and technical know-how will hold us in good stead in the league. We are determined to outperform any competition this season and are eager to compete for the final four spots this season.”
Dabang Delhi KC will kick start their season with a clash against the Bengal Warriors at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on June 27, 2016. The team will host the last leg of the league at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex from July 24-27.
“We at Dabang Delhi KC firmly believe that as a responsible team and citizens, we should give back to society. In order to help build awareness, we have partnered with four NGOs to create awareness and support for the work they have been doing. We will be donating a part of our ticket sales as contribution to the efforts of Uthaan, Water Aid India, Wildlife Conservation Trust and CADD (Community Against Drunk Driving).
Delhites have always come out in huge numbers to support the Dabangs and we hope this support will extend to the causes that the team is rooting for,” added Saumya Khaitan
