Talking about the captain, head coach Ramesh Bhendigiri, said,
"Meraj Sheykh has been a strong asset to the team in the past seasons and I'm sure he will lead the team well again. He is a versatile player- one who raids like a fox and defends like a bull. He is extremely fit and skillful and with this new squad, I'm sure that he and the team will give all its fans reasons to cheer and rejoice through the league."
Meraj Sheykh’s men will take on Jaipur Pink Panthers in their first game of the PKL-5 on July 29 at Hyderabad.
