#2 Inexperienced defensive lineup this year
Patna Pirates banked on Pardeep Narwal to fire them to the title last season with his raiding exploits on the mat. However, their defence was not up to mark last season apart from the corner defender Jaideep, who was one of the best defenders in the league in Season 5.
Jaideep has been retained by the Patna Pirates for this season as well. However, the other defenders in the squad - Manish, Vikas Kale, Ravinder Kumar and Vijay Kumar form an inexperienced lineup for the Pirates. The all-rounders like Kuldeep Singh, Jawahar Dagar and even the Korean players Hyunil Park and Tae Deok Eom will have to buck up their act in order to present a credible defensive threat or the teams will not find it difficult to score against Patna this year.
