“They have not been dependent on one player” – Dabang Delhi Head Coach reflects on how the team has impressed him so far in Pro Kabaddi 2025

**Dabang Delhi Head Coach Joginder Narwal Reflects on Team’s Performance in Pro Kabaddi 2025**

Dabang Delhi has been one of the top contenders in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi 2025 season. With a strong lineup and consistent performances, they are seen as serious title contenders this year.

The team’s star players, such as Ashu Malik and Fazel Atrachali, have delivered impressive performances throughout the season. Despite missing some games due to injury, Ashu remains the team’s top raider, accumulating 146 raid points from 12 matches. Fazel, on the other hand, has been a key defensive pillar, securing 49 tackle points from 17 games.

However, Head Coach Joginder Narwal emphasized that the success of the team is not reliant on just one or two players. He praised the collective effort shown by the squad, highlighting the contributions of Sandeep Deswal, Surjeet Singh, Saurabh Nandal, Akshit Dhull, and Naveen Rawal.

Speaking during a Media Day organized by JioStar, Narwal said,
“Whenever there has been the need, others have stepped up. Sandeep has done well. Surjeet, Saurabh, Akshit, all have contributed significantly. Even Naveen has performed when called upon. Almost all the players have performed whenever the need has arisen.”

He added,
“That is why our team is at the top. We have not been dependent on any single player like Ashu, nor has it been that the team will only win if Fazel plays well. Everyone has done their part. This is a team sport and only when everyone performs consistently can the team stay at the top.”

Narwal also shared some individual statistics to highlight the well-rounded team effort:
– Saurabh Nandal has scored 47 tackle points.
– Sandeep Deswal has accumulated 26 tackle points.
– Akshit Dhull has scored 46 raid points, including three Super 10s.

Dabang Delhi has been one of the most consistent teams this season. They finished second in the standings after the league stage, securing a top-two finish heading into the playoffs. The former champions have 26 points from 18 outings, with a positive score difference of 38.

Despite losing their last two fixtures, the team remains confident as they headed into the playoffs. Narwal revealed that they rested some of their main players in the final league games to test their bench strength after securing qualification.

Dabang Delhi will now face the qualifier match, giving them two chances to make it to the final. Fans will be hoping this balanced and resilient team can carry their momentum forward and clinch the Pro Kabaddi 2025 title.
