Monu Goyat raiding against Telugu Titans

Monu Goyat had a forgettable PKL 4 campaign with Bengal Warriors, where he managed to score just 59 raid points in 13 games. He failed to score a single Super 10 last season and had a below-par average of just 4.54 raid points per game. Despite his performance, Patna included him into their squad as a deputy to Pardeep Narwal after paying a huge sum of Rs 44.5 lakhs.

However, he has been doing far better than a support raider for Patna as he is currently the sixth leading raid point scorer of PKL 5 with 118 raid points to his name. Except Patna, no team in PKL 5 have a secondary raider with more than 85 points. His average of 7.87 raid points per game is the fourth highest by a player this season. Despite being a secondary raider, Monu Goyat has scored six Super 10s this season -- only Pardeep (12) and Rohit Kumar (7) have more this season.
