Pro Kabaddi League | Haryana Steelers full team and schedule for season 9
Haryana Steelers join the Pro Kabaddi League season 9 hoping to challenge for the crown after narrowly missing out on an eliminator position in season 8. The team finished seventh last season and replaced top raider Vikash Kandola with Manjeet, who was purchased for a whopping Rs 80 lakhs.
Manjeet will be supported by the retained Vinay and Meetu, as well as the auctioned-off K Parpanjan and Rakesh Narwal. They also spent Rs 37.50 lakhs on Nitin Rawal and utilised their FBM to maintain Iranian Mohammad Esmaeil Maghsodlou. The Steelers maintained seven of their defensive players from the previous season, including the excellent Jaideep and Mohit. In addition, seasoned campaigner Joginder Singh Narwal was brought in to replace Surender Nada.
