All-Rounders
Sahil Mann, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, Daniel Odhiambo are the 3 all-rounders who will be seen in Patna team. Mohammadreza Chiyaneh is the most expensive overseas player of this season. He is the player to watch out for.
New raiders’ major responsibility will be raiding fearlessly. It will be interesting to see how team fills the void due to Pardeep Narwal’s absence. Defense is inexperienced so they will have to work hard.
