Here is the five-man Valorant roster announced by Orangutan
Shravana “Techno” Sahoo
Aman “Hoax” Yadav
Sagnik “Hellff” Roy
Daivik “DcRulz” Chauhan
Nikhil “Makaveli” Chettri
Techno and Hellff previously played for True Rippers, while Hoax was previously a part of God's Reign and Velocity Gaming. While fans are excited to see their favourite players in a new team, however, they are wondering who will play the role of duelist.
It is also important to note that Orangutan went with an all-Indian roster route, something Global Esports is also planning on doing. A few months back, Global Esports announced open tryouts to apply for their VCT roster for the 2025 Season. Their current roster went inactive last month and new players are yet to be announced.

Recently, the founder of Skyesports announced that moving forward, Indian teams will get direct slots in the global league. While he did not reveal which game he was talking about, the changes in rosters for big teams might be hinting towards something.
Although many people believe, it could either be Valorant Mobile or Pokémon Unite. The push for Valorant has been immense from Riot Games. The new league from Skyesports may revolve around Valorant. If this happens, it will be the first time Riot Games is allowing an external league for Valorant.
