Complete Analysis:

Defenders
Sunil as a right corner & Skipper Neeraj as a left cover will defend Patna team. Rest all young players such as Thiyangrajan Yuvaraj, Manish, Shivam Chaudhary & Manish Sharma can play at different positions.
All-Rounders
Mohammadreza Chiyaneh as left corner & Sajin C as left cover will be part of defense. Rohit Gulia might be seen as supportive raider. Sagar, Kamer, Abdul Insamam & Daniel Odhiambo are other all-rounders in Patna team.
Offense looks slightly over dependent on Sachin. New raiders’ major responsibility will be to support Sachin. So that he can go for raiding fearlessly. The defense is same as the last season. It is one of the most balanced defensive combinations.
