The franchise based on Delhi, Dabang Delhi K.C. is the only side in Pro Kabaddi history to not feature in a playoffs match over the five editions of the league. Dabang Delhi K.C. has found a lot of stars over the years such as Kashiling Adake, Ravinder Pahal, and Meraj Sheykh but lack of collective performances have hurt them a lot.
Dabang Delhi K.C. has the lowest of winning percentages in comparison to other teams of the league, just at 24.36%. Out of 78 matches over the five seasons of the tournament, Dabang Delhi K.C. has managed 19 wins only.
In Season 5, the team managed to buy Nilesh Shinde and Bajirao Hodage after they retained the services of Meraj Sheykh. However, things didn't go well for the team as everybody failed to live up to the expectation.
Sheykh ended his campaign as the best allrounder of Season 5 (104 total points in 20 matches). Abolfazl Maghsoudlu starred their raiding efficiency of the team but couldn't take the team to the playoffs. Not even a single defender crossed 30 tackle points in their entire season. Sunil was the best defender for the team with 25 tackle points in 18 matches.
For Season 6, Dabang Delhi K.C. has made some reputable steals for a team which lacked form back in Season 5. However, the team on paper looks a well-balanced side with every department filled with experience and agility.
Dabang Delhi K.C has signed a total of 19 players for Pro Kabaddi Season 6. Meraj Sheykh who was retained by the team ahead of the auctions was the highest paid player at approx. ₹65.55 lakhs by the team. Krishan Kumar Hooda will be serving the team as their head coach. Here is the predicted playing 7 for Dabang Delhi K.C. in the initial matches of the tournament.
Right Corner: Ravinder Pahal
It will be a warm homecoming for 'The Hawk' in Dabang Delhi K.C. It was season 2 when raiders feared against Ravinder Pahal. In that season, Ravinder took 60 tackle points in 14 matches with 4.29 tackle points per game as average.
Ever since then, Pahal has demolished the opposition with his trademark move 'thigh hold' and his precisely timed dives. Pahal originated the move namely 'wrist hold' with his tightened grip. His thigh holds usually come in the middle of the court.
With 204 tackle points to his name, Ravinder Pahal stands 5th in the highest tackle points ranking in 67 matches. He was a bargain steal for Dabang Delhi K.C. at just ₹20 lakhs who'll look to devastate the opposition once again.
Right In: Chandran Ranjit
Hailing from Trichy, Tamil Nadu, Chandran Ranjit rose to the occasion and supported Sachin Tanwar pretty well in Season 5. He got signed by Dabang Delhi K.C. at ₹61.25 lakhs and was their 2nd highest buy.
He acquired 51 raid points in 11 matches playing with much ease and harmony. Chandran Ranjit is a flexible left raider who can freely move across the opposition's court. He uses his back kicks with his constant movement. His swift mobility in the court allows him to steal a point through hand touch just as the defender makes a mistake.
Chandran Ranjit is a valuable player and will look to build his permanent recognition for Dabang Delhi K.C. in the days to come.
Right Cover: Vishal Mane
A fine example of a robust defender with muscularity, Vishal Mane has been a magnificent powerhouse as a right cover defender. Vishal has played for Bengal Warriors, U Mumba, and Patna Pirates in the past and two-time winner of the Pro Kabaddi league.
Vishal provides deep depth in the defense with 132 tackle points in 83 matches. Vishal has 5 High 5s in his career. Vishal can assist the left corner with his dashes and blocks, bulldozing the raiders out of the court.
Dabang Delhi K.C. will look to have Vishal's hulky defending in their arsenal who has 7 super tackles up his name.
Center: Pawan Kumar Kadian
A raider who has strength and athleticism, Pawan Kumar Kadian has been an exceptional raider in whichever team he has played.
Ever since Pro Kabaddi League Season 1, Pawan was a substitution player who arrived at the court in the middle to save the team from all-out situations. However in Season 5 when Jasvir and Selvamani were dealing with injuries, Pawan established himself as the commander of Jaipur's raiding unit.
He notched up 122 raid points in 21 matches last season with an average of 5.81 raid points. Overall, Pawan has 207 raid points in 55 matches and loves picking bonus points and toe/hand touches.
Pawan will look to ease Dabang Delhi K.C.'s pressure in the do or die raids.
Left Cover: Viraj Vishnu Landge
The team management of Dabang Delhi K.C. was highly confident on this Marathi left cover defender and acquired him back through the FBM card.
Viraj was a part of the winning team of his national side, Maharashtra and had an impressive outing throughout the Senior Nationals 2017-18.
Viraj is known for his assists during defence and can come pretty handy with his diving knee hold as well as dashes. Viraj is yet to prove himself which he will look to do in Pro Kabaddi as a mature player.
Left In: Meraj Sheykh
The first foreign player to captain a side in the Pro Kabaddi League (Telegu Titans for Season 2), Meraj Sheykh is one of the best all-rounders. This flying Iranian started his career as a left corner all-rounder and now leads the raiding unit of his team with prime.
With 215 raid points and 50 tackle points in 63 matches, Meraj Sheykh has proven his mettle. He loves to use his running kicks and rarely goes for hand touches. His lion jumps over the thigh hold efforts of the defenders are a feast to the eyes.
Meraj Sheykh was the best all-rounder of Season 5 with 104 total points. For Season 6, Meraj will be more of a primary raider as the team looks balanced on paper.
Left Corner: Joginder Narwal
One of the experienced veterans of Pro Kabaddi, Joginder Narwal was the corner combination with Ravinder Pahal for Puneri Paltan in Season 4. Joginder Narwal has played for Bengaluru Bulls and U Mumba in the past.
In spite of having just 73 tackle points in 38 matches, Joginder has the mastery of executing ankle holds. He is known for proper support to his corner partner with timely blocks.
The corner duo of Ravinder Pahal and Joginder Narwal took the Puneri Paltan to the semi-finals of Season 4 and will look to continue the same for Dabang Delhi K.C.
