The Bengaluru Bulls were crowned the champions of PKL 6 and most of the credit should go to young Pawan Sehrawat, the raider with most points in PKL 6. He was a constant menace to the opposition defense and got many multiple point raids with his tremendous speed and agility. Himself and skipper Rohit Kumar formed a great raiding duo and they will continue to be the lead raiders even in this season.

Both of them are quality raiders and compliment each other very well and if on song, they can demolish any opposition and rake in the raid options. However, Bengaluru seem to be short on other raiding options and apart from these 2, there are no known raiders in the side and in case of an injury, this might impact them.

Overall, Bengaluru have a tremendous raiding duo but if they fail, the side will be going in short-handed because of their lack of good backups.

#3 Patna Pirates

Pardeep will continue to be a key player for the Pirates

Raiding Options: Pardeep Narwal, Jang Kun Lee, Mohammad Maghsodlou, Ashish, Mohit, Naveen, Purna Singh, Vikas Jaglan

The Patna Pirates was a side which revolved around their raiders last season but apart from Pardeep Narwal, none really stepped up during the crunch games. Patna have beefed up their defense with some good signings at the auction but their main area of strength remains their raiding department because they have the best raider in the league in their ranks.

Pardeep will be the main man for Patna but he will have a great partner in Jang Kun Lee, the Korean raider who was a mainstay for the Bengal Warriors in previous seasons. Apart from these 2, Patna have Mohammed Maghsoudlou and Vikas Jaglan as utility raiders. They also have a couple of youngsters like Naveen, Ashish and Mohit who are unknown entities and can be unleashed as impact substitutes.

Overall, Patna are a strong raiding side and have 2 tremendous primary raiders but lack options to cover up for them.
