Pro Kabaddi League 2018, Patna Leg: 5 hits and misses from the Patna Pirates

#2 Hit - Support from raiders

Deepak Narwal essayed his role as the secondary raider to good effect

Ahead of the season, Patna made some interesting buys as they added some exciting talent to complement Pardeep Narwal in the raiding unit in the form of Deepak Narwal, Manjeet and Tushar Patil.

Manjeet picked up his first Super 10 in the game against the Bengaluru Bulls when Pardeep Narwal failed to make an impact while in Pardeep's absence against the defense-heavy setup of the Bengal Warriors, Deepak Narwal and Tushar Patil combined to pose some serious issues for the Bengaluru defense unit.

Deepak Narwal has looked confident, albeit in patches but has kept chipping away with the points while Manjeet's reach and understanding of the game situation has aided his stability in this season.

All-rounder Vijay Malik has arrived when the chances have looked bleak and, with a combination of bonus points and touch points, he has managed to keep Patna out of troubled waters.
