Runners-up of last season, the Patna Pirates were the most consistent team in the league stage. They topped the table only to lose in the finals to Dabbang Delhi. This year they will be looking to take their performances up a notch. Raider Sachin Tanwar and left corner Mohammedreza will be the key players for the Pirates. They must recapture the magic that propelled them to the top of the table in the previous edition.
Meanwhile, Puneri Paltan found their feet a little late in the previous season. Plagued with losses at the beginning, Puneri turned their season around in the latter stages and made it to the playoff. They were knocked out in the eliminator. Puneri has acquired the services of Iranian superstars Fazel Attrachali and Mohamad Nabibaksha to bolster their defense.
Prediction
The two-time finalists, Gujarat Giants will battle it out against Tamil Thalaivas in their opening game of vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9. They have got an experienced raiding trio of Chandran Ranjit, Mahendra Rajput and Rohit Kumar to lead their attack this season.
Anyone of the aforementioned raiders can take a game away from the opposition when on song and you can rest assured that Gujarat Giants fans will be hoping that one of them steps up for the team and sets the tone for the rest of the season.
