Bengal Warriors have strengthened their unit by getting two Iranians on-board. Defender Mohammad Esmaeil Nabibakhsh will join the Warriors thanks to a purchase amounting to ₹77.75 lakhs while all-rounder Mohammad Taghi was picked up for a price of ₹15.5 lakhs.

Raider Sukesh Hegde who cost the Warriors ₹20 lakhs will be instrumental for the Kolkata-based franchise in the upcoming season, while Jeeva Kumar who was bought for a price of ₹31 lakhs will help to fortify the defense.

Bengal Warriors have been a side that has risen consistently - albeit slowly, with every season, and will hope that their acquisitions which amounted to approximately 320 lakhs will help them scale the summit in the forthcoming edition of the League.

Rakesh Narwal, who the Warriors spent ₹16.25 lakhs on, will help build an aggressive raiding unit alongside Hegde, while Rinku Narwal who was bought for ₹20 lakhs will play a key role in defence.
