3 min read Last Updated : Oct 13 2024 | 6:18 PM IST

With the start of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 around the corner, all 12 teams are intensifying their practice sessions to ensure a strong start to the season. Teams compiled their squads for PKL 2024 through retentions and the August 15 and 16 auctions in Mumbai. As the season begins on October 18, every team is working hard to identify their strengths and weaknesses, aiming to form an optimal playing seven from the first match. One such team is the defending champions, Puneri Paltan.

Strengths

Puneri Paltan’s biggest strength in the upcoming season will be having most of their core members from the title-winning team back for the new season. Paltan have retained their star players—Aslam Inamdar, Mohit Goyat, Pankaj Mohite, and Sanket Sawant—before the auctions, meaning they will already have a settled squad before the start of PKL 2024.

Weaknesses

Paltan will have to be cautious about their defence as it might become a weak spot for the team after they lost last season’s best defender, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, to Haryana Steelers during the auction. They still have good defenders in the form of Sanket Sawant and Abinesh Nadarajan, but filling Chiyaneh’s spot will still be daunting for the Season Ten winners.

Opportunities

Following the auction, Paltan added players like V Ajith Kumar and Amir Hasan Noorani, who can be valuable assets in crunch situations.

Threats

While Paltan will have one of the most balanced squads during the season, the pressure of defending the title might become an issue for them, as only Patna Pirates have successfully defended their title in PKL history, winning Seasons Three, Four, and Five consecutively.
