TEAMS PREVIEW

Patna Pirates Preview

The Patna Pirates are off to a disappointing start to their season as they lose their season opener against the defending champions Puneri Paltan 40-25. It was a blowout loss early in the season for the Pirates. They looked clueless on both the raiding and defensive forefront. Devank, one of the new raiders in the Pirates set up, was the top scorer with six raid points (1 touch & 5 bonus), while Ayan, a left raider finished with 5 raid touch points. 

Right corner defender Ankit Jaglan was at his best pinning down the raiders with his ankle holds on two occasions in super tackles and ending the game with a six tackle points. Left corner defender Shubham Shinde finished with 3 tackle points, Deepak Rathee left cover defender also contributed with two tackle points. The raiding department looks clearly inexperienced and they will have a tough time against a very good defensive unit of the Thalaivas. 

The Pirates this season have scored 12 raid points and 11 tackle points. Against the Thalaivas the Pirates on average scored 33.2 points per game.The key battle for the Pirates will be between the right raider Sachin Tanwar and left corner Ankit Jaglan, if he can tackle the threat of Sachin then the Pirates will have a real chance of winning this contest. 

Patna Pirates Probable Starting 7 - Devank, Gurdeep, Deepak Rathee, Ayan, Sandeep, Shubham Shinde, Ankit Jaglan
