Five Puneri Paltan Players to watch out for this season

A new look Puneri Paltan team are all set to take to the field for the third coming of the StarSports Pro Kabaddi against the Telugu Titans on Sunday. Back with a host of new signings, Ashok Shinde will be hoping his side start the campaign with a new zeal and put the ghosts of the past two seasons behind them. The Puneri Paltan depended heavily on Wazir Singh to produce the goods last season and his tryst with injuries meant Puneri Paltan struggled to put together a winning foot forward. However, Puneri Paltan is no longer a one-man army and has numerous quality players to call into action, who can do various jobs in the side. The pride of the Maratha Warriors was severely hurt in the previous two campaigns and they will be out to right the wrongs of the past. We take a look at five players from the Puneri Paltan side that the league needs to watch out for.

#1 Manjeet Chillar

Manjeet Chhillar needs very little introduction and Season Two’s most valuable player is all set to shine for the Puneri Paltan this time out. Having come so near to lifting the title in the Final against U Mumba last season, the ever-smiling all-rounder will be keen to go that one step further and get crowned the Champion of Pro Kabaddi League. Ashok Shinde had no hesitation in installing Manjeet as his captain and now Manjeet will have to repay his faith his coach has shown in him.

Chhillar who is a warrior may have a slightly tough time leading his troops, who were so accustomed to losing games, that it may take time even for Manjeet Chhiillar to hit the ground running with Puneri Paltan. But Coach Ashok Shinde would believe if anyone can it would be Manjeet Chhillar to do it for his side.
