"Surjeet is a valuable asset to the team and he will definitely drive the team towards glory. He has an experience of leading the team and I have faith that his leadership capabilities will take us a long way in this season," coach Anup Kumar was quoted as saying in media release.
Puneri Patan is yet to have cracker of a season. Altough in the season 3 and 4 of the leaugue, Pune managed to clinch the third spot but since then they have not been up to the mark. With Surjeet back in the side and taking charge, Puneri Paltan can expect a turn of fortune.
