The Pro Kabaddi League, now in its 12th season, will return to the four-city caravan model with a brand new structure and several rule changes. PKL 12 begins on August 29 at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Visakhapatnam.
In PKL 12, Jaipur Pink Panthers will be led by allrounder Nitin Rawal. With an aim to reclaim the PKL trophy, the Pink Panthers appointed Narender Redhu as their new head coach for the upcoming season.
Widely regarded as one of the most promising young coaches in the Indian kabaddi circuit, Redhu led a young Patna Pirates side to the PKL Season 11 final. Under his guidance, the Pirates also reached the PKL Season 10 Playoff.

SQUAD ANALYSIS
Having retained defenders Reza Mirbagheri, Ronak Singh, Nitin Kumar, Abhishek KS, and raiders Sombir and Ritik Sharma, the Pink Panthers bought nine players at the Player Auction to strengthen their squad. Having spent a total amount of INR 4.93 crore, the inaugural PKL winners have assembled a formidable squad that has plenty of exciting talents.
Strength: A rock solid defence.
The Pink Panthers have a formidable defensive unit which is their biggest strength this season. The side retained star Iranian defender Reza Mirbagheri. He registered 58 tackle points in 23 games last season, including four Super Tackles and two High 5s. The side has also retained Ronak Singh, right cover Nitin Kumar and Abhishek K.S in the left cover. Nitin Rawal’s acquisition in the auction for just 50 Lakh was a great buy for the squad. He has consistently been one of the smartest defensive players in the league.
Aashish Kumar’s recruitment in the right cover and the likes of Deepanshu (right corner), Aryan (left corner), Sahil Deshwal (left cover) and Mohit (right cover) showcase Panthers’ great depth.
Weakness: A deficient raiding unit? Arjun Deshwal’s departure leaves a huge hole for Panthers to fill. The side signed Nitin Kumar Dhankhar for INR 1.002 CR. They also brought in Uday Parte and the experienced Manjeet Dahiya. They also have Iranian raider Ali Samadi Choubtarash. Sombit and Ritik Sharma were retained ahead of the auction itself.
There lacks an established name in offense to carry the team the way Arjun did all these years. The side will hope that doesn’t cost them dearly as it bids for its third PKL crown.
Jaipur Pink Panthers will begin its campaign against Patna Pirates on September 2, 2025 in Vizag.
