#3 Core strength advantage for Pune
One of the most important aspects of a sports team is that of bonding to produce the best results over time through understanding and complementing each other. This is one huge box that the Paltan have managed to tick leading into the sixth season as more than half the team either represented Pune last season or have featured for Pune in the past.
Four players apart from youngster Monu were retained from the last season while Nitin Tomar, who played for Pune in the fourth season was bought back. Rinku Narwal, Ravi Kumar, Vikash Khatri, and Akshay Jadhav, all of whom played for Pune in the previous season also return back after being picked from the auction.
