Puneri Paltan have a well-balanced squad and will be feeling quite confident heading into the next season. They have a certain Nitin Tomar to lead their raiding unit, and he will be supported by the likes of Manjeet and Pawan Kumar Kadian.

Their defensive side of things are also well sorted with strong and proven performers like Girish Ernak, Surjeet Singh and Hadi Tajik.

They have a lot of versatile players in the squad, something that always helps. Girish Ernak can play at any defensive position, and even Surjeet Singh can shift positions. Apart from the players, their new coach, Anup Kumar's presence will also play a defining role.

He has been there and done it before for Pune's rivals, U Mumba. He is known to be a good man-manager and his calming influence will have a say in their bid for the title.
