That journey gives us tremendous belief as we head into a new campaign, especially with the core of our squad staying intact. Jaideep’s exceptional leadership as captain has shaped the team’s spirit and direction and his ability to inspire those around him is truly invaluable.
Alongside Rahul as vice-captain, their partnership ensures the squad operates as a united, cohesive group. With Coach Manpreet Singh at the helm, I am confident the Steelers are poised for another remarkable season and ready to chase more success.”
