PKL 12: Where & how to watch Patna Pirates vs Haryana Steelers, Match 81 of Pro Kabaddi 2025

Haryana Steelers will look to get back to winning ways in PKL 12 against Patna Pirates.

The Delhi leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) has got off to a cracking start with hard-fought contests. Monday will witness the rematch of the Season 11 final between the Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates in Match 81 at Thyagaraja Indoor Stadium.

Haryana Steelers had a forgettable Chennai leg as they lost all games in the southern city. They would want to start afresh in Delhi and will have a sigh of relief to see Patna as their opponents, having beaten them in the last five encounters, including the finals last year.

For the Patna Pirates, a heavy defeat at the hands of the Tamil Thalaivas has put their journey in jeopardy. They are in a dilemma whether to trust only a young player like Ayan or go back to the experienced Maninder Singh. It will be interesting to see the approach they take.

Players to watch out for

Patna Pirates – Ayan Lohchab

Patna Pirates have had a tough season, with players and coaches showing no signs of uncertainty. One thing that has remained consistent in every game is Ayan Lohchab’s performance. He has grown by leaps and bounds and will look to do well against a strong Haryana defense.

Haryana Steelers – Shivam Patare

If one wants to read the future, one should try to find the answer as to why the performance of Haryana Steelers suddenly dropped.

One man who could help them find the answer will be Shivam Patare. He might be in the shadows of Vinay, but he has won matches single-handedly and will look to repeat the same.

Possible starting 7

Patna Pirates –  Ankit Kumar, Ayan Lohchab, Sudhakar M, Deepak Singh, Balaji D, Navdeep, Ankit Jaglan.
