The head coach, Naseeb Janghu, echoed the confidence in the squad, stating, "This group gives us balance across raiding, defence, and all-round options. Every player has been selected with a clear role in mind, and I believe this squad has the hunger to win matches." Reacting after becoming the highest-bid player of the auction, Devank Dalal said, "Being picked by Bhiwani Bulls as the top bid is a proud moment for me. I'm thankful for the trust the franchise has shown, and I'm committed to giving my best and playing fearless kabaddi for the team and the fans."
