Revenant XSpark has officially let go of two key players from its lineup, which is a big change for the Battlegrounds Mobile India esports scene. On April 2, 2026, the group said that captain Ashutosh Singh, also known as Punk, and fifth player Jay Deshmukh are no longer on the team.
The team had just finished seventh in the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2026 Grand Finals in Chennai when they made this choice. The result was not what the team expected, since they had done well in big competitions before.
Team Takes Big Step After Bad BGIS Result
Revenant XSpark had high hopes for the BGIS 2026 tournament, but the final standings weren’t what the team usually does. Finishing seventh meant missing out on a better spot in one of the year’s biggest BGMI events.
It looks like the group is going to come up with a new plan before the next Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2026, also known as BMPS 2026, because of this result. The best teams in the country are expected to compete in this tournament, which will be important for rankings and future chances.
In esports, it’s common for rosters to change before big tournaments. Teams often change their lineups to make communication, teamwork, and overall performance better.
Punk’s Leadership Brought Success but Not the Desired Finish
Punk became the in-game leader of Revenant XSpark in November 2025. While he was captain, the team did very well in a number of tournaments.
His team won the Skyesports Skirmish Series 2025 and came in second in both the Blizzard Battlegrounds and the Upthrust Esports Pro Showdown 2026. These performances showed how good the team could be and how strong they were in competition.
But in esports, recent results often affect how management makes decisions. If a team doesn’t meet important goals in major championships, even experienced leaders can be replaced.
Possible Return of Former Leader Could Change Team Strategy
There are strong rumours in the community that the group might try to make Shadow the new leader of the game. Shadow had led the team to big wins in the past, like winning the BGIS and BMPS titles in 2024.
Shadow is currently a part of Meta Ninza, so any transfer would need to be approved and negotiated by the company. If the move goes through, it could make the team’s leadership and coordination much stronger.
Fans are keeping a close eye on this situation because leadership is very important in high-level BGMI matches. A good captain can help players make better decisions when the game is on the line.
Remaining Core Players Still Provide Strong Firepower
Even though some players have left, Revenant XSpark still has a strong core of skilled players. Pain, NinjaJOD, and TraceGod are three skilled attackers that the team has kept.
People know these players for being aggressive and having good mechanical skills. But none of them has a lot of experience being a captain and leading a team. This makes it likely that the group will hire a new in-game leader before the next big event.
To make a balanced roster, you need both good shooters and smart strategists. Teams that have these traits often do better in long tournaments.

Transfer Window Activity Means More Changes Are Coming
The BGMI transfer window officially opened on April 1, and a few teams have already begun to change their rosters. During this time, teams can sign new players, let go of old ones, and rebuild their rosters.
Experts think that in the next few weeks, there will be more surprising moves in the competitive scene. Before BMPS 2026 starts, big-name players might switch teams and new partnerships might form.
Changes like these can change the whole world of esports. A single transfer can change the rankings of teams and start new rivalries.
