The Soormas will also rely on the likes of Sahaj Dhawan, Jashanpreet Singh Sidhu and Mayank Markande to make an impact. With the team gaining confidence from its latest performance, maintaining the same intensity and executing their plans consistently will be important against Bathinda Royals.

Coach Reflects on Team's Belief

Reflecting on the team's turnaround and the belief within the group, head coach Sandeep Sawal said,“After losing our first two matches, it was important for the players to come together, believe in themselves and be clear about what we wanted to achieve on the field. So, we wrote 'We will win' on the board and asked everyone who believed in it to stand together. Every player agreed, and that belief translated onto the field. We went out there with one mindset, and we got the win.”

The victory over Fazilka Falcons gave the Soormas their first points of the tournament and a much-needed boost in confidence. The team will now look to build on that performance and maintain the positive momentum as the league progresses.
