Pro Kabaddi League: UP Yoddhas have appointed star defender Sumit Sangwan as their captain and Ashu Singh as vice-captain for the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12, starting from August 29.
Both Sumit (26) and Ashu (27) began their journeys with UP Yoddhas as New Young Players (NYPs) in Season 7, and have since evolved into pillars of the team’s defensive setup. Their rise from promising debutants to leaders is a testament to GMR Sports’ long-term vision of developing players from within the system, focusing on loyalty, performance, and sustained growth.
Sumit is known for his agility, timing, and tactical intelligence. He has consistently ranked among the league’s top defenders over the past few seasons. His appointment as captain reflects not only his on-mat excellence but also his ability to inspire and lead from the front.
