However, When it comes to game changing metrices i.e. Super raids and Super tackles Patna Pirates is in top 2 teams of table with (16 super raids) and in top 3 teams of table with 29 super tackles which displays they fall in situation like super tackle more number of times and were not able to maintain maximum number of players consistently on mat.
