With four wins from their last five league stage matches, the Warriors cemented their spot in the top two positions on the points table, thus earning a direct ticket into the semifinals of this edition.
U Mumba did record a massive 12-point win against the Steelers but will need to be vary of the challenged posed by the Warriors, with the latter picking up wins from both the league stage matches contested between these two sides this season.
In the leadup to this high-voltage encounter, Sportskeeda caught up with Bengal Warriors coach BC Ramesh, who spoke about Maninder Singh’s possible return to the side, the need for the defenders to put in a good show against U Mumba among other topics.
While coach Ramesh pins his hopes on the star raider’s return, two men from the former’s home state, namely K Prapanjan and Sukesh Hegde are preparing to take up the challenge of leading the side’s raiding unit, and the coach claims that he has faith in these two raiders to stand tall against the challenge from U Mumba’s defenders.
While much talk has been around the Warriors’ proficiency on the raiding front, the defenders have looked slightly shaky, barring the corner combination of Baldev Singh and Rinku Narwal. Coach Ramesh added emphasis on the extra efforts put in by the rest of the defensive unit to make matters difficult for the U Mumba raiders.
Having won season six with the Bengaluru Bulls as an assistant coach, coach Ramesh is no stranger to the pressure that comes along with the knockout stages, as he sheds light on the need for every player on his team to assume responsibility and stick to their role for the Warriors to make their way into the final.
