Patna Pirates and Puneri Paltan will square off against each other in the fourth match of Vivo Pro Kabaddi 2022 on Saturday, October 8, at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru.
After a blockbuster opening night that saw fans return to watch PKL action after more than three years, the action continues as the other six teams play their first matches.
While the Pirates will look to avenge their heartbreaking defeat in the PKL 8 final, they will need to do so without their beloved head coach Ram Mehar Singh, who joined the Gujarat Giants.
Meanwhile, Puneri Paltan will bank heavily on their Iranian recruits Fazel Atrachali and Mohammed Nabibakhsh to guide the rest of their immensely talented young squad to PKL glory.

PAT vs PUN Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Match 4
Raider - Mohit Goyat (159 raid points in 21 matches)
The New Young Player of Season 8 award winner Mohit Goyat will have plenty of eyes on him this season. After powering the Paltan to an unlikely playoff spot along with Aslam Inamdar last season, Mohit will look to better his points tally in PKL 9. He's an exciting Dream11 option to own.
Defender - Neeraj Kumar (113 tackle points in 45 matches)
While he isn't the most consistent defender in the league, Neeraj Kumar is capable of producing some spectacular defensive performances. After taking on the responsibility of leading the side, expect his game to improve.
All-Rounder - Rohit Gulia (310 total points in 75 matches)
Rohit Gulia hasn't quite lived up to the huge expectations teams have from him. However, a change of scenery could bring the best out of his talents.
PAT vs PUN Match Captain/Vice-Captain Choices
Sachin Tanwar
Sachin should be the lead raider for the Patna Pirates, with Rohit Gulia and Sushil Gulia as his support raiders. Sachin had a solid PKL season 8 for the Pirates and could easily have scored more if he didn't share his raiding duties with Prashanth Kumar Rai, Guman Singh, and Monu Goyat. Now that he's the lead raider, expect him to score more Super 10s.
Aslam Inamdar
One of the players to watch out for in PKL season 9, Aslam Inamdar should lead the Paltan until Fazel Atrachali's return to the side. The youngster impressed last season, scoring a total of 189 points in 23 matches last season.
