The squad also features solid supporting players, including Bitto Banwala, Sahil Narwal, and Anuj Suresh, each selected to play defined roles within the team structure.

True to their identity, Hisar Heroes invested in emerging talent as well, with young players like Rahul Malik, Kapil Narwal, Anshul Sonu, and Dinesh Deshwal completing a squad that blends immediate competitiveness with future promise.

Speaking about the team build, the Hisar Heroes owner said, "Our vision was to build a team that represents Hisar's courage and community. This squad has players who are ready to fight for every point and make the city proud."

The head coach, Jagdeep Singh, added, "We have focused on balance and mindset. The players selected understand responsibility and team play. I believe this group will grow stronger with every match."

Respectfully, I hope the "hungry talent" gets real game time. Sometimes coaches stick with the proven names and the youngsters warm the bench. The squad depth is promising though.
