The 2019 Pro Kabaddi League winner, Bengaluru Bulls, is coming for the title win once again. After winning Season 6 of the Pro Kabaddi League, the Bengaluru Bulls seem to be fading away.
But with the recent auction, the Bengaluru Bulls PKL 12 season looks on the right track. With their worst season behind them last year, it is important to notice what the team has in store for the fans.
[Breaking News] Bengaluru Bulls Hire A New Coach
The 2024 season of the Pro Kabaddi League was the worst for Bengaluru Bulls. As a result of that, they finished at the bottom of the table.
With such a disappointing season, their coach, Randhir Singh Sehrawat, had to make way for a new leader. Yes, we are talking about BC Ramesh. BC has been one of the great Kabaddi coaches. He is expected to turn the team’s fortunes around.
Ramesh’s coaching résumé is impressive. He has won PKL titles with Bengal Warriorz in Season 7 and with Puneri Paltan in Season 10, showing his ability as the coach.

[Update] Bengaluru Bulls Strengthen Their Core
Bengaluru Bulls PKL 12 season needs to be good as they had a poor season in 2024/2025. To get the best players, they seemed to be the busiest team at the auction table.
By the end, they have a very good team. Defense seemed their weakness in PKL 11, so they signed Yogesh Dahiya for Rs 1.125 crores this season. He is also the most expensive defender in history.
Other players added as a strength by the Bulls are Ankush Rathee for 30 lakhs, and Sanjay Dhull for 60 lakhs. In order to cover all areas, they also brought in Lucky Kumar for the right cover and Deepak for the left corner.
Lastly, they will have the services of Shubham Rahate in left cover, along with Manish and Satyappa Matti in the right cover. The new coach, Ramesh, seems to have tactics on point.
Social Media Reaction on Bengaluru Bulls PKL 12 Auction

[Exclusive] Minor Issues With Bengaluru Bulls PKL 12 Auction
While fans of the Bengaluru Bulls might feel that the team is all set for a strong comeback, a few overlooked aspects suggest otherwise. These gaps are part of the unpredictable nature of PKL auctions.
One key concern is the heavy investment in defense, which raises questions about the team’s raiding depth. Although the Bulls signed players like Akash Shinde, Aashish Malik, Pirati Srisivatejesh, Ganesha B Hanamantagol, Shubham Bitake, and Mahipal, none of them are proven raiders at the PKL level. Despite their promising potential, they have yet to establish themselves as reliable scorers under high-stakes pressure.
This lack of attacking firepower could pose a problem, but it also presents an opportunity. Coming off their worst season in PKL 11, the franchise now has a chance to rebuild with a new coach and a fresh core of players. Season 12 could mark the beginning of a much-needed revival.
Jyoti Sharma Take
Despite being one of the most respected teams in the league and having players like Pardeep Narwal in their ranks, the Bengaluru Bulls underperformed dramatically last season.
In a bid to refresh the squad, the team has released several seasoned players in favor of younger talent. While Coach BC Ramesh brings tactical brilliance and experience to the table, navigating a highly competitive PKL Season 12 will be no easy task.
