Puneri Paltan’s Mohit Goyat had managed to impress in his debut season of the PKL. He made 21 appearances and earned 187 points for his team. He had a strike rate of 55%. The young raider was the most successful in a do-or-die situation and managed to accumulate 49 points from it throughout the season.

Mohit could easily fit into the role of the main raider and thus a lot of eyes will be on him in the next auction.

4. Rinku (U Mumba)

Rinku was the most successful defender for U Mumba last season. He managed to score 60 points in 22 matches and finished fourth on the overall list.

He is an expert in securing points in the crucial stages. This could mean big bids in the upcoming auctions.

2. Rakesh (Gujarat Giants)

Rakesh secured the most points for Gujarat Giants in the 8th season of the PKL. In 22 matches he has secured 140 points and was the main raider for his team. His height gives him an advantage for the raids. On top of that, his speed is an asset. There will be many offers for him as well in the auction for next season.
