#6 Puneri Paltan
Raiding options: Nitin Tomar, Manjeet, Pawan Kumar Kadian, Darshan Kadian Amit Kumar, Emad Sedaghat Nia, Sandeep
Trending
The Puneri Paltan have yet another middling raiding unit at their disposal and though they look good on paper, their raiding seems to revolve around Nitin Tomar. Nitin was the best player for Pune last season but his poor form towards the end of their campaign is a worrying sign. He's certainly a raiding powerhouse but not to the extent of some of the other big names and the price tag's pressure might have its toll on him.
Apart from Nitin, they ventured into a bidding war to sign Patna Pirates raider Manjeet, who showed signs of promise last season and the lanky raider can be able support to Nitin. Pawan Kumar Kadian and Darshan Kadian are 2 utility raiders who can be brought in as impact substitutes. Iranian Emad Sedaghat and all-rounder Sandeep are also raiding options for the side.
Overall, Pune have a strong raiding unit but Nitin Tomar has to live up to the expectations but if he plays like how Rahul Chaudhari did last season, then Pune are eyeing trouble.
#5 Dabang Delhi KC
Raiding options: Meraj Sheykh, Chandran Ranjit, Neeraj Narwal, Vijay, Aman Kadian, Naveen Kumar, Sumit Kumar
There might be a lot of surprises seeing Dabang Delhi be ranked higher than few other teams but their squad has a lot of quality raiders and though they don't have as many options, the ones who're there are good ones. Meraj Sheykh wasn't at his best last season but his form has seen a rise and he will lead the raiding department for Delhi.
He has 2 very quality raiders in the form of young Naveen Kumar and Chandran Ranjit both of who crossed 150 points last season. Naveen has become a young sensation in the league and the 18-year old amassed 177 points to his name last time around.
They also have the services of former Patna Pirates all-rounder Vijay, who has rescued the side on many occasions and is a utility player and good do-or-die raider. Neeraj Narwal is an unknown entity who fetched a lot of amount and is expected to play a role in the side.
Overall, Delhi have 4-5 able raiders in their unit and though they don't have a numerical advantage over the other teams, they have a well-knit unit of good raiders.
