PKL 10: Top five teams who are strong contenders to win title in upcoming season

These teams have top-class players capable of making them champions.
With just a few days left for the start of Pro Kabaddi League’s upcoming season (PKL 10), the anticipation is building up for another thrilling kabaddi showdown. Several big players have been seen switching teams in the PKL 10 auctions, aiming to create a strong combination of raiding and defending. The article discusses five teams with potential to win the coveted trophy.
5. Gujarat Giants
Gujarat Giants made significant changes after failing to secure a playoff spot in PKL 9. The team has acquired prominent players like Fazel Atrachali, Rohit Gulia, and Jeeva More. With raiding led by Pradeep Dahiya and solid defense from Rakesh, Gujarat Giants seem well-positioned for a title run.
4. Tamil Thalaivas
Tamil Thalaivas faced setbacks in PKL 9 with the absence of Pawan Sehrawat due to injury. In PKL 10, they are relying on young raiders like Narendra Kandola and Ajinkya Pawar. The team aims to showcase strong performances in defense, led by Sahil Gulia and Sagar, supported by Iranian defenders like Amir Hussain Bostami and Mohammadreza Kaboodrahangi.
3. Puneri Paltan
Puneri Paltan raised eyebrows by releasing Fazel Atrachali and investing in Mohammadreza Shadlu for PKL 10. The team boasts a formidable raiding department with Mohit Goyat, Akash Shinde, and Aslam Inamdar. The defense is strengthened by Shadlu and young defenders, presenting a balanced team.
2. UP Yoddhas
Consistent performers in previous seasons, UP Yoddhas have a robust raiding department with star raiders Pardeep Narwal, Surender Gill, and the addition of Vijay Malik. The combination of Nitish Kumar and Sumit Sangwan in the corner defense proved effective in PKL 9. With Ashu Singh and Gurdeep Singh contributing, UP Yoddhas aim for their first-ever final appearance in PKL history.
1. Jaipur Pink Panthers
Defending champions Jaipur Pink Panthers continue to showcase strength with key raider Arjun Deshwal and support from Ajit Kumar in the raiding department. Despite Rahul Chaudhari’s recent struggles, his potential to turn the game around makes Jaipur a formidable team. The consistent performance of corner defenders and Sunil Kumar’s addition further strengthens the defense, positioning Jaipur as strong contenders for another title.
