Blocked by his coach
Bengaluru Bulls head coach Randhir Sehrawat revealed that he blocked former franchise captain Pawan Sehrawat on his social media. Pawan left the Bulls and joined the Tamil Thalaivas but unfortunately, suffered an injury in the first match of the tournament itself. Randhir says that he blocked almost everyone during the league but he unblocked Pawan and talked to him. The Bengaluru Bulls coach added that it would be better for the league if Pawan recovers from his injury soon.
“But I unblocked Pawan and asked about his health. Then we chat privately. I think it would be good for the league if he comes back soon. He has a huge fan following here in Bengaluru as well. You will see he has a lot of fans behind him when he comes to play. It will benefit the league if the number one striker of the last three seasons plays,” continued Randhir.
