PKL 10: Puneri Paltan full squad

There have been significant changes in the team's defense.

Puneri Paltan will have a different look in the 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 10). This time, Fazel Atrachali won't be a part of the team, but Mohammadreza Shadlu has been included. Additionally, Mohammad Nabibakhsh won't be a part of the Puneri Paltan team this time. However, the team's raiders, who delivered an excellent performance in the 9th season and took the team to the finals, are still intact. Aslam Inamdar, Mohit Goyat, and Akash Shinde will once again be responsible for raiding.

Puneri Paltan won 14 out of 22 matches in the previous season and qualified for the semifinals directly. After defeating the Tamil Thalaivas, they also secured a place in the final. In the final, their two main raiders, Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat, couldn't play due to injury, but the team put up a strong fight. This time, Fazel Atrachali is not with the team, and it remains to be seen who will captain the team. However, some young players have been included in the team. Let's find out which players are part of Puneri Paltan's team for PKL's 10th season.

Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat to continue in the raiding department

Puneri Paltan has once again entrusted Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat with responsibilities in the raiding department. The team had retained these young players earlier. Additionally, Akash Shinde and Pankaj Mohite are also part of the team. The team had purchased a young raider, Nitin Malik, during the auction for this season, and it will be interesting to see how he performs. If you look at Puneri Paltan's raiding department, they have a total of five young raiders who can make a significant impact. During the auction, Puneri Paltan did not make much effort to acquire other players as their raiding department was already complete.

The biggest face in the defense will be Mohammadreza Shadlu

Before the auction, Puneri Paltan had released Fazel Atrachali, but during the auction, they managed to acquire Mohammadreza Shadlu. Shadlu had a base price of 30 lakhs, and U Mumba was the first to place a bid for him, followed by Bengal Warriors. UP Yoddha also entered the bidding, and Gujarat Giants placed a bid for Mohammadreza Shadlou. In the end, Puneri Paltan secured him for a substantial amount of 2 crores 35 lakhs, making him the second most expensive player in PKL history.

In addition to this, the team had already retained players like Sanket Sawant, Gaurav Khatri, and Abinesh Nadarajan. They have also included Iran's Ahmad Inamdar in the team. As a result, Puneri Paltan's defense is looking strong for the upcoming season.
