I've had an absolutely fantastic six years at this club where we've won five big trophies and extending for three more years wasn't a hard decision.

"Udanta has been with the club for six seasons and has been an integral reason for Bengaluru winning five titles since then. He knows the club, the values it upholds and the family that it is, which explains why he has agreed to commit the next three years of his career to the Bengaluru blue. We know what he brings to the pitch and we're certain of him delivering everything he is capable of," said Bengaluru FC CEO Mandar Tamhane.
