U Mumba is a professionalkabaddi team based inMumbai,Maharashtra, that plays in thePro Kabaddi League.[2] The franchise is currently led bySunil Kumar, and coached by Anil Chaprana and Gholamreza Mazandarani. The team is owned by Unilazer Ventures Pvt. Ltd with co-foundersRonnie Screwvala andSupratik Sen. U Mumba play their home matches at theSardar Vallabhbhai Patel Indoor Stadium.
In theinaugural season of the PKL, U Mumba were one of the most dominant teams in the league but lost the ultimate match of the competition, thus ending as runner's up to theJaipur Pink Panthers.[3] In2015, they were out to make up for their mistakes and successfully won the tournament after defeatingBengaluru Bulls in the Final.[4] Later next season in2016(January), U Mumba lived up to the tag of the best team in PKL history and made their third successive PKL final before eventually ending as runner's up, as they were defeated by thePatna Pirates by a narrow margin despite a lion hearted comeback in the second half of the final.
Ahead of theJune 2016 season, in the PKL auction, U Mumba lost many of their key players who were a part of the squad that reached three consecutive finals. The team wasn't able to deal with the changes as they failed to make the playoffs in the following two seasons-2016(June) season and2017. An inspired change of personnel by the owners ahead of the2018-19 season, saw U Mumba regain their lost touch and qualified for the playoffs after two failed attempts. In the process U Mumba once again became the force they once were, and ended the league stage with dominant wins and the most highest score difference than any other team. But inability to peak in big games with narrow margins, saw them getting knocked out by theUP Yoddha in the playoffs.[5]
U Mumba contest the Maharashtra derby against state rivalsPuneri Paltan and have the bragging rights as well by winning 9 of the 15 encounters between the two teams.
In season 7, they went out in the 2nd semi-final losing to the eventual champions Bengal Warriors, by a score of 35–37.
