PKL final Live: Patna's defence vs Delhi's attack
The clash is also a fight between Patna Pirates' defence and Dabang Delhi's attack as Naveen Kumar or the Navbeen Express as he is known will be going head to head against the 'hamla' of the Pirate from Iran Mohammadreza Shodloui Cheyaneh. Shodloui has been the most aggressive raider in the season of the PKL so far, doing 84 successful tackles in 23 games to average at 3.9 tackles per game while the NMaveen Express has to his name 10 Super 10s in just 16 games, a record in itself as well.
Patna Pirates vs Dabang Delhi: Experience vs Youth
Another Panga would be between the experience of Dabang Delhi vs the youth of Patna Pirates. Dabang Delhi is filled with players such as Sandeep Narwal, Joginder Narwal and Manjeet Chiller who have crossed the age mark of 30 years which is considered as an 'old age' in Kabaddi terms as Players start going down with their agility suffering because of age. On the other hand, there is hardly any player on the Patna side who is above the 30-year mark.
