U Mumba Predicted 7: One of the better teams in the Pro Kabaddi League, U Mumba will play their seventh season, starting from 20th July 2019. Iranian player Fazel Atrachali will once again lead the team in Pro Kabaddi Season 7.
U Mumba has been the only team to have reached the finals in three consecutive seasons, in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Owned by Unillazer Ventures Pvt. Ltd., U Mumba had emerged as champions in Pro Kabaddi League Season 2, beating Bengaluru Bulls by 6 points in the final.
U Mumba participated in the finals for three consecutive seasons from season 1 to season three, however, their Kabaddi campaign from there onwards saw a decline in performance as they failed to reach the playoffs in Pro Kabaddi Season 4 and Pro Kabaddi Season 5.
U Mumba made a promising comeback in season 6, showcasing consistent performances in the league, which also saw them reach the playoffs for the fourth time in their Pro Kabaddi campaign.
Here’s a look at the predicted playing seven for U Mumba in their first match against Telugu Titans.

Position: Defender (left-corner)
Unarguably, the best overseas defender in the history of Pro Kabaddi League, Fazel Atrachali will once again lead U Mumba in the season 7 of Pro Kabaddi League.
The Iranian defender played an influential role for Patna Pirates in Pro Kabaddi League season 4. Fazel finished as the leading defender with 52 points in 16 games, helping Patna Pirates win the title.
He will undoubtedly be one of the biggest bets for U Mumba in the upcoming season, starting from 20th July 2019.

#5 Rohit Baliyan (Center)
Position: Raider
