Abhishek Singh has been U Mumba's saving grace, scoring a total of 125 raid points in PKL 2019. He debuted in PKL season 6, immediately creating an impact with his raiding skills. This season, Abhishek's performance has only improved. Skipper Fazel Atrachali is U Mumba's rock, leading the defence with 64 tackle points. Sandeep Narwal has proved to be a valuable addition to the team, supporting the defence and attack effectively. Even the young players - Arjun Deshwal and Athul MS - have been crucial for U Mumba's success this season. Their biggest win this PKL season was their game against Jaipur Pink Panthers (47-21).
