Consistency, teamwork and hard work brings about the best in anything and U Mumba’s achievements in all the three editions of Pro Kabaddi League is another evidence of it. U Mumba is comprehended as the most consistent team in the Pro Kabaddi League considering that they have played the finals in all the three seasons of Pro Kabaddi League.
Not just that, their record in the playoffs had also been admirable throughout the Pro Kabaddi League. With U Mumba winning the coveted championship trophy and title in season 2, they were all set to defend it in season 3. Having lost just 2 matches in the playoffs of the league, the team from Mumbai had made a statement to all other teams in the league.
The Mumbai team has showcased that consistency, teamwork, unity and hard work can fetch success, no matter what. Season 3 did witness a lot of shuffling of players from one team to another and also the addition of players from Services, but U Mumba managed to retain many of its key players as well as substitutes. This might be one of the major reasons for their consistency.
In season 1, the team finished second in the league table with 51 points and in season 2 and 3 finished at the top of the table with 60 points. This itself explains team’s consistent performance in the Pro Kabaddi league.
Although the Final Panga didn’t turn out to be in U Mumba’s favor, they have showed why truly they are worthy of the ‘Defending Champions’ tag and have fought to defend their title in the whole league, semifinals and finals. The spectacular come back that the team made in the final was another instance proving why they have been semifinalists and finalists in all the three seasons.
Mumbai’s skipper Anup Kumar had a lion’s share of getting the team back on track in the finals. The foremost reason behind Mumbai’s consistent performance goes to the heads of the family, the Coaches, Bhaskaran Edachery and Ravi Shetty and also to skipper Anup Kumar who have seamlessly bonded their players and ensured they played as one cohesive unit in all the seasons.
U Mumba supporters will be looking forward to another level of consistent team effort from the same players in Season 4 of Pro Kabaddi League.
