Pawan is a top raider and is rated among the best raiders in Pro Kabaddi history. He has a tremendous record as the captain of Telugu Titans and Indian National Team. In the PKL Captains list, he will be very eager to replicate his international performances in this year’s Pro Kabaddi League.

Pawan Sehrawat, one of the most experienced players in the league, is expected to continue as the captain of the Telugu Titans. His experience and tactical knowledge make him the obvious choice to lead the team in PKL 2024.

Bengal Warriors: Nitesh Kumar

In all likelihood, Nitesh Kumar will lead the charge for Bengal Warriors. An extremely gifted left corner defender, Nitesh has been one of their finest players and has impressive abilities and skills. Moreover, this opportunity might be ideal for the calm and collected leader to take the mat. He has a considerable experience leading the defense line, and his skills as a skipper could prove to be advantageous for Bengal Warriors, who would be in search of a successful campaign in PKL 2024.

Bengaluru Bulls: Pardeep Narwal

The “Record Breaker” Pardeep Narwal may very well be leading the team of Bengaluru Bulls this year. Having had the opportunity to captain the Patna Pirates to a title victory gives an idea that Pardeep is capable of captaining a side and carrying his team on his back with a championship-worthy performance.

Dabang Delhi KC: Naveen Kumar

Naveen Kumar is another PKL captain who has already proved himself on the position of the captain of Dabang Delhi KC. With his being one of the most dynamic raiders and the main promise of the team’s ongoing success, he will play a critical role in leading his team on the mat and making decisive moves. He has the ability to understand the situation quickly and his determination for victory will help the Delji team regain the title.

Gujarat Giants: Neeraj Kumar

The captain of the Gujarat Giants can be Neeraj Kumar. Building on his experience as a resolute defender, Neeraj can lead his team, making important decisions in defense, and paying due attention to his understanding of the game. He is one of those leaders with a broad view of everything that happens, which is, along with his practical skills, a guarantee of success in the building of a strong defense.

Haryana Steelers: Jaideep Dahiya

Jaideep Dahiya may be seen leading the Haryana Steelers this season. His all-round abilities and mat sense over the years have made him a standout performer for the Steelers. His ability to lead the attack and help out defensively makes him a solid leader, especially during crunch moments.

Jaipur Pink Panthers: Surjeet Singh

Surjeet Singh is another veteran player among the PKL captain list who can captain Jaipur Pink Panthers. He is known for his defensive skills and a cool head, and this could be the key to the positivity in the Panthers’ camp.

Patna Pirates: Sandeep Kumar

Sandeep is the strongest contender to become the leader of the Patna Pirates team. Sandeep Kumar has already shown his eligibility to become the leader by the way of playing. In the role of defender, he is stopping opponent raiders. The prime role of him as the leader should be maintaining the highest level of steadiness in the team’s defense. He has already shown his ability and leadership is required to keep the team at high level and focus during the entire season.

Puneri Paltan: Aslam Inamdar

The young and dynamic raider, Aslam Inamdar will continue to lead Puneri Paltan. Aslam is the heart and soul on the mat, his energy has been very important at practice as well in the playfield to help lead this team. He is one of the best and successful captains in IPL history so far, his skills to create motivation in players to take right decisions at crunch games are exactly ideal- that too for a side like Paltan.

Tamil Thalaivas: Sagar Rathee

Sagar Rathee is a potential candidate for the captaincy of Tamil Thalaivas. Well-recognised for his solid defence, the man has the composure and ability to guide his team to effective play. Now all expect his leadership will be critical in ensuring that the Thalaivas' defense remains solid and consistent throughout the PKL season 2024.

U Mumba: Sunil Kumar

Sunil Kumar will lead U Mumba in the upcoming season of the Pro Kabaddi League. In previous seasons his guidance has been a beacon for the team. We can look forward to his team-oriented tactics and his calm manner throughout the coming season, when U Mumba aims to turn in a good performance.

UP Yoddhas: Mahender Singh

Mahender Singh is expected to be the PKL captain of UP Yoddhas. A tough defender, Mahender has the potential to lead the Yoddhas in a fine manner. His leadership and defensive skills will be critical in helping the team handle the league's challenges and gain success. The team's fans look forward to him winning the maiden trophy for the team.
