U Mumba (Mumbai) is a Mumbai-based Kabaddi Team that has featured in the Pro Kabaddi League since 2014. The team has managed to win the title just once in 2015, their second season. The management let go of captain Fazel Atrachali and star raiders Abhishek Singh and V Ajith Kumar and acquired Pawan Sehrawat at the PKL 9 auction. U Mumba decided to build a young team of talented players having the potential to deliver a strong performance. The team has also finished second on three separate occasions, but the new-looking squad could pose a serious threat.
This time, the team has superstars like Rinku Sharma, Surinder Singh, and Harendra Kumar and young players like Kiran Magar, Rahul Sethpal, and Prince, who are known to be aggressive in their defending. In PKL 8, U Mumba spent their resources on Guman Singh, the top raider for the Patna Pirates. Guman will be assisted by Ashish and Shivam Thakur, both of whom have previous PKL expertise. Jai Bhagwan will be a teenager to watch on the U Mumba side after an outstanding domestic season.
