The Pro Kabaddi League is set to return for its 12th season which will kick off from August 29, 2025. A total of 12 teams will take part in the upcoming PKL 12.
While all the franchises built their teams in the Player Auction held a few months ago, some are still reshaping their squad. In a latest development, Bengaluru Bulls have added a new member to their squad.
The champions of Season 6 announced that they have added all-rounder Jitendra Yadav to their franchise for their upcoming season. The development comes after Bull’s NYP Pirati Srivatejesh was ruled out of PKL due to injury. The Rajasthani has gone unsold in the auction.
Jitendra Yadav was part of the Gujarat Giants in PLK 11 where he was the best defender. Standing in the left corner, he was incredible at bringing down the Raiders. He scored 56 tackle points last year, including seven Super tackles, which was the joint fourth-most Super tackles last season.
Under the new Head Coach of Bengaluru Bulls, BC Ramesh, Yadav will join Ankush Rathee and Yogesh Dahiya to make a strong defence unit for the Bulls at PKL 12.
