Talking about defender Yogesh Dahiya, Rahul said:

"Tight defense and solid technique. I guess none other than Jasprit Bumrah. He is one of the finest when it comes to defending under pressure." (via Star Sports)

Yogesh has picked up 13 tackle points from five games so far, including a 'High 5' in their previous clash against defending champions Haryana Steelers. Further, Rahul compared Bengaluru Bulls' raider Akash Shinde to opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal.

"Young, fast, and acrobatic. So it reminds me of my opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, because he is so aggressive at the top, and he is very young and full of energy," Rahul reckoned.

Finally, he compared the Bengaluru Bulls as a team to himself. He called the Bull dangerous and silent attackers, just like the batter himself. KL Rahul has always gone about his business in a calm and composed manner while being a threat to the opposition.

In the recently concluded away Test series against England, he played a vital role, scoring 532 runs from five games with two hundreds and as many half-centuries.

Bengaluru Bulls script comeback with back-to-back wins

Bengaluru Bulls had the worst possible start to their Pro Kabaddi 2025 season. They faced a close defeat in their opening game against Puneri Paltan. Their next clash against Dabang Delhi resulted in a loss as well.

Moreover, they crashed to their third successive defeat in as many games against U Mumba. With three losses in their first three games, the Bulls were low on confidence.

However, they registered their first win of the season in their fourth game against the Patna Pirates. Staging a strong comeback, they managed to win their next game against Haryana Steelers. With two back-to-back victories, they will be keen to carry the momentum forward.

They next face the Jaipur Pink Panthers on September 12, Friday. Bengaluru Bulls are currently placed eighth on the table with two wins, three defeats, and four points. While skipper Yogesh has led the defense, star Iranian all-rounder Alireza Mirzaian has been their top raider so far with 41 raid points from five matches.
