After narrowly missing out on the title last season, Dabang Delhi K.C. will be keen to go all the way in the upcoming 12th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 2025).
The national capital-based outfit ended their campaign at the semifinal stage last season. Delhi qualified for the playoffs after finishing the league stage at the second spot with 13 wins from 22 games. Their campaign last year ended with a defeat to Patna Pirates.
