Guman Singh emerged as the most expensive player in Category B at the Pro Kabaddi League Auction in Mumbai last month. The prolific raider was picked up by U Mumba for a whopping INR 1.21 crore. Speaking about the bid ahead of Season 9 of PKL, Guman said, I have played two seasons of PKL – one with Jaipur Pink Panthers in 2019 and the other with Patna Pirates in 2021. I was really happy after I got to know about the bid for me by U Mumba in the Auction, but now, I have to perform according to the bid as well. I am trying to improve my game and I will produce an even better performance this season. I will try my best to help my team to become champions.
When asked about his preparations for the upcoming season slated to begin on 7 October in Bengaluru, the raider said, It always takes time to set our combinations ahead of the season. We've been practicing well and focusing well on both – offense and defense. Guman, who comes from a humble background, also expressed the support he has received from his family, My parents stay in a village in Haryana. My mother is a homemaker and father is a farmer. My parents have always supported my kabaddi aspirations and have given me everything I have ever needed. They have never told me to stop playing.
