Patna Pirates is a recognized Kabbadi team that is based in Patna, Bihar. Established in 2014, Patna Pirates’s owner is Rajesh V Shah. It is led by a group of skilled players that take part in the Pro-kabaddi league held at Patliputra Sports Complex in Patna. This is the only team to participate in 100 matches in the history of PKL.
Patna Pirates is one of the finest eight teams that performed at the inaugural version of the popular Pro Kabaddi League. They performed exceptionally at the 2014 and 2015 semifinal editions and won their first trophy in January 2016 after defeating U Mumba. They were also the first team to victoriously resist their title in June 2016 after winning against Jaipur Pink Panthers. This Patna-based Kabaddi team has successfully completed their hattrick after winning the winning title in 2017, beating Gujarat Fortunegiants. The 2018-19 version of PKL wasn’t good for Patna Pirates as they were knocked out of the match in the group stages. It was the very first time when Patna Pirates did not succeed in qualifying for the playoffs.
But, with the arrival of the 8th season, the team is geared to outshine and knock out the other players. They have brushed their skills and have successfully gained some significant purchases this season. It is to strengthen their raiders and defenders team and come back with an all-new look. In simple words, the raiding unit looks super powerful. This time fans are extremely excited forward to witness their potent attack during the game. The defence is going to be super exciting, and it will be entertaining to observe how the youngsters create a history and put their best foot forward to win the title.
Panta Pirates understands the importance of both raiding and defending departments. Hence, they have maintained a balance between both teams. They did not miss out on including Neeraj Kumar, the team’s most strong defender who outshined in Season 7. He holds a record-equalling 11 tackle points just in a single match played by the team in the last season. When we talk about the raiders, Patna Pirates decided to hold on to Monu. He had been a Do-or-Die expert of the team and currently holds a score of 143 points from 54 matches.
Mohit, Rajveersinh Pratap Rao Chavan, and Sahil Mann are some top names among the current young players. Fans are expecting a lot from this unique trio. Although the trio will be playing their first match for Patna Pirates this season, everyone has their fingers crossed and is hoping for a good performance.
The team is known for their raiding bravery in the past seasons. Hence, this is why in season 8, they preferred to stay committed to that novel identification. Their two notable purchases at the auction as raiders were Sachin Tanwar and Prashanth Kumar Rai. With an aim to create a new-look defence, Right Corner Sunil is the only verified name that can do justice with the team. Puneri Paltan’s recent Right Corner Shubham Shinde is also going to join Sunil this season. He’ll be accompanying Sunit along with Left Corner Sandeep and Sourav Gulia.
With the latest strategies and new players on board for season 8, it’s going to be a thrill and intense match.
