They were all a crucial part of our very memorable inaugural season, and I wish them all the very best. We’ve got a solid squad in place, and will aim to make it more complete at the upcoming auction.”

We’re hoping for a successful auction going into the new season.” opined assistant coach Hemlata Kala ,
