3 most well-oiled teams in season 3 of Pro Kabaddi League
Kabaddi is a sport where the efficient teams rule the roost and not always the most extravagant ones. The Telugu Titans were by far the most expansive team in the league last season, but it was the efficiency of U Mumba that prevailed.Just like Castrol Activs purposeful presence helps provide continuous protection to the engine, the best all-round teams in Kabaddi rely on a defense that protects and an offense that is efficient and purposeful.Being well-oiled is a quality that those challenging for the Pro Kabaddi League must possess, and thus we take a look at three most well-oiled teams of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi.
#1 Patna Pirates
The Patna Pirates this season have re-defined the word well-oiled. Starting the season with five straight wins, there seemed to be no way of stopping them. An unforgiving defence led by Sandeep Narwal coupled with the raiding exploits of Rajesh Mondal and Pardeep Narwal, the Manpreet Singh skippered side steam rolled every opponent that came their way.
Their victims this season include Champions U Mumba who fell to a 14-point defeat to the Pirates as neither of Anup Kumar, Rakesh Kumar, Rishank Devadiga or Shabeer Bapu could hold themselves against Sandep Narwal and co.
The Pirates still managed a draw without Sandeep Narwal and Rohit Baliyan against a spirited Puneri Paltan side playing at home, just showing the strength in depth that Patna Pirates possess.
