Meanwhile, Patna Pirates overcame Dabang Delhi K.C. with a 32-28 win in their semi-final. Devank and Ayan led the charge, while Shubham Shinde’s High-5 and Ankit’s key tackles sealed the deal. Even as Delhi leveled the scores late in the game, the Pirates’ composed finish, highlighted by Ayan’s decisive raid, ensured their fifth final appearance.

So who can lift the PKL 11 trophy?

As the two giants collide against each other, there will be fireworks for sure. However, considering the performances given by both these teams throughout the season, we at Khel Now believe that Haryana Steelers might have an edge over Patna Pirates to get their hands on the coveted trophy.

Coach Manpreet Singh’s philosophy of prioritizing a strong defensive unit over star raiders has been the cornerstone of the Haryana Steelers’ consistency. Under his leadership, the team has developed into a cohesive force, proving teamwork triumphs over individual brilliance.

This season, the Steelers addressed their one weak spot—the left corner—by signing Iranian defender Mohammadreza Shadloui for a record Rs. 2.07 crore. Despite an initial setback with Mohit Nandal’s release, including Sanjay at the right cover has solidified the defence.

The results speak for themselves, with the Steelers recording 274 tackle points, second only to Thalaivas. Standout performers like Rahul Sethpal, Shadloui, and Sanjay have been instrumental.

Manpreet’s belief in young raiders has also paid off, with Vinay and Shivam Patare leading a balanced attack. Even Shadloui has contributed to the same. Having reached three PKL finals earlier as a coach, Manpreet’s experience in high-pressure games is invaluable.
