#1 Patna Pirates
It would be surprising to most followers of the sport to see this team come under the weakest attack but what if their poster boy Pardeep Narwal, who has led the team to two successive titles, fails to perform equally well this time around?
The Patna team does not boast of any other top raider to replace the talismanic young gun, and the only one who comes close enough is Monu Goyat, but then again, whether he can lead the charge all by himself remains to be seen.
Thus, Patna, despite having a strong defensive line-up, will have to buckle up in the case of a worst case scenario where Pardeep Narwal does not find himself in the same form of previous editions.
