#7 Patna Pirates - Pardeep Narwal
Pardeep Narwal has been the cornerstone of Patna Pirates ever since he joined the franchise in season three.
He has become the leading points scorer of the league with his unbelievable raiding skills. Pardeep Narwal is certainly the most charismatic raider of the league.
Though his team could not reach the play-offs last year, this time around they have a strong chance of regaining the championship because they have international stars like Surender Nada, Jang Kun Lee and Hadi Oshtorak in the team.
The presence of these players will surely take some pressure off the shoulders of Narwal and allow him to shine throughout the season.
#8 Puneri Paltan - Nitin Tomar
The biggest problem of Nitin Tomar's Kabaddi career has been his injury issues. The raider has proven himself as a match-winner in the PKL but he has not been able to play properly because of his injuries.
Despite this his franchise, Puneri Paltan, has kept faith in him and have picked Tomar once again as their main raider.
His quick raids and smart tackles often turn the game.
