The announcement was made during a press conference ahead of the Delhi leg, beginning October 11 — the final phase of what has been one of the most competitive seasons in PKL history. With Dabang Delhi K.C. topping the table and securing a top-eight finish, the battle for the remaining playoff spots remains fierce.
