PKL 2025: Patna Piratesโ predicted starting 7 and key players
The 12th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League is set to begin on Augustโฏ29,โฏ2025, and Patna Pirates are set to chase a 4th crown. The three-time champions, whoโve reached the playoffs in eight of eleven seasons, face fresh trials this year.
Patna Pirates made a bold move by releasing Devank Dalal, the leagueโs top scorer in Seasonโฏ11 with 301 raid points. Under new coach Anup Kumar, the squad remains competitive. Patna kept key players Sudhakar M and Ayan Lohchab, whose bond on the mat was key last term. They also signed raid ace Maninder Singh, whoโll lead up front.
At the back, Ankit Jaglan, Deepak Singh, Sanket Sawant, and Sombir Gulia form a rockโhard wall. Ankit led with 79 tackle points, while Deepak had 64 at right cover. The blend of new skill and core hold gives Patna hope to fight for the top once more.
