Patna: The only good raiding team which failed to make playoffs

Top performing raid units had a direct impact to their playoffs chances this season. The only exception has been Patna Pirates.

Top Performing Raid Units - PKL 7
Team	Avg. Raid Pts	Raid SR	League Standings
Dabang Delhi	21.9	54	1st
Bengaluru Bulls	21.7	52	5th
Bengal Warriors	21.3	52	2nd
Haryana Steelers	20.9	50	3rd
Patna Pirates	19.3	46	10th

 

Barring Pardeep Narwal, all the top performing raiders of this season would be contesting in playoffs. This is a direct consequence of Patna’s over dependency on a single raider in Pro Kabaddi 2019.
 

Top 5 Performing Raiders - PKL 7
Raider	Avg Raid Pts	SUPER 10s	Team's Position
Pawan Sehrawat (BLR)	14.0	15	5th
Pardeep Narwal (PAT)	12.8	14	10th
Naveen Kumar (DEL)	12.8	19	1st
Maninder Singh (KOL)	10.3	10	2nd
Vikas Kandola (HAR)	9.6	10	3rd

 

Patna Raid Unit: Fully dependent on Pardeep Narwal

Three-time champions Patna have failed to make it to the playoffs for the second consecutive time. The major reason is the ineffectiveness of finding a perfect second raider in the team. Since Monu Goyat, there has been a void left over in the side to support Pardeep.

PKL 7	268	66%	54 (Jang Kun Lee)	13%	League Stage Exit

 

Barring Pardeep Narwal, none of the other Patna raiders have averaged more than five raid points this season. Patna’s support raiders Jang Kun Lee and Mohammad Esmaeil, has been worse averaging less than 4 raid points this season.
