Manjeet Dahiya is the top raider for Puneri Paltan with 56 raid points in 12 matches.

They will be looking to continue their momentum in the offence for Puneri Paltan tonight.
Abhishek Singh has scored the most raid points with 59 raid points in 10 matches with a brilliant Super-10 against Jaipur Pink Panthers in his recent outing. Arjun Deshwal and Athul MS would yet again look to aid the offence for the team as U Mumba look to form a formidable trio in their raiding.
PO Surjeet Singh has scored 32 tackle points in 12 matches thus far for Puneri Paltan. The defence needs to settle for the team with determined roles as coach Anup Kumar has changed its starting seven subsequently.
