The Haryana Steelers: The Haryana Steelers, the reigning champions of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), have reinforced their title defense ambitions by assembling a powerful and well-balanced squad during the PKL Season 12 player auctions held in Mumbai on May 31 and June 1.

Under the leadership of captain Jaideep Dahiya and the strategic acumen of head coach Manpreet Singh, the Steelers have combined youth, international flair, and seasoned expertise to build a team primed for success.

The highlight of the Steelers’ auction campaign was the acquisition of star raider Naveen Kumar for a whopping Rs 1.2 crore. Naveen, one of the most consistent and dynamic performers in PKL history, made a name for himself with Dabang Delhi, where he played a pivotal role in their maiden title win in 2022 and earned the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award that season.
