New Delhi, Aug 18 Reigning champions of Pro Kabaddi League Haryana have announced Jaideep Dahiya as captain and Rahul Sethpal as vice-captain for the upcoming season 12.

Together with head coach Manpreet Singh, Jaideep and Rahul will work on building a winning strategy to defend the title and bring glory to the Dhaakad Boys, once again.

“Kabaddi is a game that demands unity and quick decision-making, and both Jaideep and Rahul bring those qualities to the mat. Both have been essential to our success last season, on and off the mat. Their discipline, consistency and exceptional performances inspired the squad and set the benchmark on how we want to tackle this season. With new vigour and focus, the Dhaakad Boys are back this season - we are confident to defend our title and lifting the trophy again," said coach Manpreet.

Alongside Rahul as vice-captain, their partnership ensures the squad operates as a united, cohesive group. With Coach Manpreet Singh at the helm, I am confident the Steelers are poised for another remarkable season and ready to chase more success.”
