Bengal Warriors Team: Season 1

Bengal Warriors Team: Season 3
The performance of Bengal in their 3rd season was quite impressive as they managed to secure a spot in the playoffs by finishing fourth in the group stages. However, their dreams of winning the championship were shattered when they were defeated by U Mumba with a score of 41-29 in the semifinals.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 4
On the other hand, things did not go well for Bengal during the fourth edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. The team struggled throughout the season and ended up finishing last with only 26 points to their name, making it a forgettable season for them.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 5
During the fifth season of the tournament, the teams were segregated into two groups based on their geographic locations. The Bengal Warriors team that emerged victorious in Zone B secured direct qualification for the semi-finals but was defeated by Patna Pirates in the preliminary finals. Surjeet Singh was among the top players who emerged as the highest scorer with five points, scoring a remarkable 9 in total.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 6
Bengal secured second place in Zone B and made it to Eliminators but unfortunately lost to Dabang Delhi. However, Maninder Singh had an exceptional season as he managed to score 206 raid points across 22 matches.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 7
Bengal's long-awaited victory has finally arrived, after two seasons of playoff qualifications. They secured second place in the group stages and emerged victorious against U Mumba in the semis and Dabbang Delhi in the finals to claim their first-ever title. The team's success can be attributed to the outstanding performances of Maninder Singh as the best raider and Baldev Singh as the best defender.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 8
Unfortunately, the Warriors had a lackluster performance during the eighth edition of the Pro Kabaddi League, finishing ninth overall. Throughout the season, they struggled significantly with Maninder being their only standout player.
Bengal Warriors Team: Season 9
The journey of the Season 7 champions in the Vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9 commenced with a mixed bag of results in Bengaluru, securing four wins and three losses. As they moved to Pune for the second leg, they missed out on earning five points for a win in some closely contested matches, ending up with two wins, two losses, and two draws.
Despite being competitive throughout most of the tournament, things took a turn for the worse when they reached Hyderabad for the final leg. The Warriors players managed to secure only two wins out of nine matches during this period. They appeared to be out of sync and went on to lose five out of their last six games, ultimately costing them a playoff spot.
