#4 U Mumba
When the seventh season of Pro Kabaddi League began, no one expected U Mumba to play the way they have in this tournament. They did not have a single big name in the raiding department, yet Fazel Atrachali has been able to drive his team into the playoffs.
Rohit Baliyan, Abhishek Singh and Arjun Deshwal have kept troubling the opposition defenders while Sandeep Narwal and Surinder Singh have supported their captain to perfection. U Mumba have not been to the final since Season 3 thus, it will be interesting to see whether the Season 2 champions make it to the summit clash or not.
#3 Haryana Steelers
Haryana Steelers will make their second appearance in the playoffs thanks to Vikash Kandola and Rakesh Kumar's brilliance. The vice-captain of the team has led from the front and Kumar has been extremely successful in his maiden outing as the coach of Haryana.
The team management also needs to be commended for building a strong unit in the auction and since Dharmaraj Cheralathan has won the PKL title in the past, the Sonipat-based franchise will be among the favourites to lift the trophy in Ahmedabad.
