Pro Kabaddi 2023: Dabang Delhi K.C. name captain and vice-captain for upcoming season

Season eight winners Dabang Delhi K.C. have announced that Naveen Kumar Goyat will continue to lead the side for the upcoming PKL 2023 season. Left-corner Vishal Bhardwaj has been named his deputy.

Under his captaincy last season, Naveen Kumar led the Dabang Delhi side to the playoffs. They finished 6th in the group stages before being knocked out in the Eliminator 1.

Naveen Kumar has been an intergral part of this set-up and has led by example. The raider-captain picked up 258 points from 23 games last season.

Vishal Bhardwaj, meanwhile, picked up 45 points in 19 games playing for Telegu Titans before being picked up by the Dabang Delhi side this year.

Dabang Delhi appear to be a formidable side this time around and will look to make it to their fifth straight playoff to challenge for the title.
