Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five reasons why Patna can make it a hat-trick of trophies this season

#2 Defensive duo of Vishal Mane and Sachin Shingade

Vishal Mane will look to combine with Sachin Shingade in the defence

The two Marathi boys have big boots to fill in, that of Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Fazel Atrachali, but given their performances from the past, the duo will not shy away from this challenge at all.

Vishal Mane, probably the ‘Hulk’, has a lot to prove after his poor season with the Bengal Warriors last time while Sachin Shingade, who was the only bright light for an inconsistent Dabang Delhi last time, will be looking to pick up from where he left.

If these two players combine well in terms of coordination, they will form a potent combination forging an impregnable wall in the Patna Pirates’ defence.
