Tamil Thalaivas gave Suresh Kumar a big responsibility for the 12th season of PKL

Tamil Thalaivas have made official the appointment of Suresh Kumar as assistant coach for the 12th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. Suresh Kumar is well conversant with the game and has a vast amount of experience both as a player and as a coach.

Suresh Kumar played for franchises Patna Pirates, Dabang Delhi, and U Mumba for 2 to 5 seasons in the Pro Kabaddi League. Upon retirement, he became the assistant coach along with Jaipur Pink Panthers head coach Sanjay Baliyan. It was because of their guidance that the performance of the Jaipur Pink Panthers has been admirable during the past two seasons.

Suresh Kumar hails from Tamil Nadu and is presently employed in ICF in the Southern Railway. His Tamil origins and familiarity with Tamil sporting culture make his appointment all the more special for the franchise and its supporters.

Suresh Kumar said, “It is a great pleasure to be a part of Tamil Thalaivas as an Assistant Coach for Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League.” “Being a part of the Tamil family, especially when you come from the same land, is truly meaningful. I look forward to giving my best for the team and representing my state with pride.”

Echoing this sentiment, Tamil Thalaivas CEO Shushen Vasisht said, “We are delighted to welcome Suresh Kumar as the Assistant Coach. His strong track record in player development and team strategy will be a key asset to the Thalaivas squad. Having a coach from Tamil Nadu brings an added emotional connect, not just for the players, but for our passionate fans across the state. We are confident that his presence will ignite local pride and energise the team as we aim for a strong season.”

Earlier, Tamil Thalaivas announced Sanjeev Baliyan as the head coach for season 12. With Suresh Kumar joining him on the coaching bench, the team is set for a focused and impressive campaign.
