It is safe to say that Patna Pirates didn't have the auction they would have wanted. They don't have the best supporting raiders for Pardeep, at least statistically. There aren't any known defenders on the team other than Jaideep, who is also very inexperienced. A lot will depend on how Pardeep, Jaideep and Vijay perform.
Vijay was one of their silent point scorers last season. He is a very effective all-rounder and will be key to their fortunes. It remains to be seen if, Deepak Narwal and Surender Singh Bhola can perform well. Patna will want one of them to deliver a performance like Monu Goyat, who was of great help to Pardeep last season.
Patna will hope that Pardeep can deliver the with a truckload of points.
