Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: One month down, five teams who look favourites to win the title

#3 Patna Pirates

Pardeep Narwal has been leading the charge for the Pirates.

The defending champions look well poised to claim the hat-trick of titles given the supremacy that they have established with their style of play on the mat.

The team relies heavily on their skipper, Pardeep Narwal to come good and well, he has been on point. The five-star raider has the most number of raid points to his name, 83 to be precise which includes four Super-10 outings. Alongside him in attack, Monu Goyat has also been performing well while Vinod Kumar has handled the do-or-die situations.

The defence of the side is one that exudes brute strength with the likes of Vishal Mane, Sachin Shingade, Jaideep and Satish who have all put forth a formidable show in the defence in tandem with one-another thus staying true to the Aristotle adage that, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
