#2 Having Manpreet Singh at the helm
Manpreet Singh is of a rare breed. He not only led the Patna Pirates to the title in Season 3 but he also moulded the youngsters of Gujarat Fortune Giants into a champion side and helped them reach the final on their debut.
Extremely frank and unassuming, his passion for the game oozes from his words as he speaks. He has a deep knowledge and understanding of the game and has a keen eye to spot talent. That is the very reason why he was able to bring so much success for the Gujarat franchise in their very first appearance in the league.
What is even more noteworthy is Manpreet knows how to bond with his wards. He has been more of a brotherly figure than a coach and his young brigade deeply respects him and has flourished immensely under his guidance.
