Pardeep Narwal (c) [Raider]
Pardeep Narwal can easily be adjudged as the best raider given his stellar performances in each and every match, even against the best defensive sides.
Monu Goyat [Raider]
He has been performing well as the second raider behind Pardeep and building upon his tally of raid points with every subsequent match.
Vijay [All-rounder]
The young gun was particularly impressive in the last match against UP when he picked up a total of 5 points, which included 3 vital tackle points.
Vishal Mane [Right Cover Defender]
The mighty defender will be majorly responsible for keeping the Bengal attack at bay and not allowing the raiders to go rampant.
Sachin Shingade [Left Cover Defender]
Alongside Vishal Mane, Sachin will play the role of a rock in the Patna defence making it difficult for the rival raiders to make it inroads.
Jaideep [Left Corner Defender]
Jaideep in the corner position will primarily restrict the bonus point attempts from the opposition.
Jawahar [Defender]
He will bring about added strength when it comes to inflicting combination and chain tackles.

Ran Singh [All-rounder]
Ran Singh plays majorly as a defender in the corner position and will be mainly responsible for executing ankle holds.
Jang Kun Lee [Raider]
He led the way for the Bengal Warriors in the last match with 9 points and will target Vishal Mane for he knows his game given that they played together for the Warriors last season.
Maninder Singh [Raider]
Maninder Singh, the comeback man is giving us glimpses of his rampant raids from the first season when he powered the Pink Panthers to the title.
Deepak Narwal [Raider]
Coming off an injury, Deepak will be eager to carry on from where he left, get the quick raid points for his side and thus keep the scoreboard ticking.
Vinod Kumar [All-rounder]
The experienced man has the ability to execute his kills on either side of the mat and hence bring about balance to the side.
