Bengal Warriors were magnificent in their opening match of Season 7 against U.P. Yoddha and registered a massive 31-point victory. The match saw Iranian all-rounder Mohammad Nabibakhsh introduce himself to VIVO Pro Kabaddi with a brilliant Super 10. Captain Maninder Singh, too, was on song and finished the match with nine raid points to his name. Right Corner Baldev Singh was sensational in defence against U.P. Yoddha with seven tackle points to his name. Rinku Narwal, too, had an impressive outing in the last match and stopped just one tackle point short of a High 5. Overall, Bengal Warriors, this season, seem like a well-balanced outfit, with both their offence and defence very much capable of tipping any match in their favour.
