Patna Pirates Vs Puneri Paltan Match Details
Match: PAT vs PUN, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 91
Date and Time: January 27, 2024; 8:00 pm IST
Venue: Patliputra Indoor Stadium, Patna.
The Patna Pirates and the Puneri Paltan face off in the 91st game of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Saturday, January 27, at the Patliputra Indoor Stadium in Patna.
The Pirates got their home leg off to a great start, giving their home support plenty of reasons to cheer, thrashing the Bengal Warriors 44-28 despite losing captain Neeraj Kumar to an injury.
With three all-outs, a Super 10 for Manjeet and nine for new captain Sachin, High 5s for Krishan Dhull and a six-point haul for new right cover Mayur Kadam, everything went the Pirates’ way, as they moved to sixth in the points table
Meanwhile, the Puneri Paltan’s last outing was a 32-32 stalemate against a competitive U Mumba side on Tuesday. Mohammadreza Chiyaneh was the star yet again, picking up a High 5, with Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat doing a decent job in raiding.
However, the rest of the defence had an off day and couldn’t keep Guman Singh quiet. They will likely have their hands full against Patna’s raiding trio as well.
PAT vs PUN Probable Playing 7s
Patna Pirates
Sachin Tanwar (C), Manjeet, Mayur Kadam, Sudhakar M/ Sandeep Kumar, Babu M, Krishan Dhull, Ankit Jaglan
Puneri Paltan
Aslam Inamdar (c), Mohit Goyat, Pankaj Mohite, Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh, Gaurav Khatri, Abinesh Nadarajan, Sanket Sawant
Raider – Mohit Goyat
It’s close between Mohit Goyat and Sachin Tanwar, but the former edges ahead because of his higher defensive involvement. In a game that could be a cagey affair and Super 10s won’t be as common, a tackle point could make a huge difference.
Defender – Krishan Dhull
After a lean patch, Krishan Dhull got back to form with a High 5 against the Bengal Warriors. He will be crucial in helping the Pirates stop the three-pronged Paltan raiding unit.
He’s a more aggressive defender than Gaurav Khatri on the Pune right. That might help him pick up tackle points in situations, where he only initiates the tackle, even if it’s the second line of defence that does most of the work.
All-Rounder – Mohammadreza Chiyaneh
He should be the permanent name when it comes to the all-rounders’ slot whenever the Paltan is playing, as no one else comes close to the Iranian left corner.
With 57 tackle points and 20 raid points in 14 games, need one say more?

PAT vs PUN Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
While the Paltan will start as the favourites, the Patna Pirates have the firepower to take the attack to them. The Paltan were recently held to a 32-32 tie by U Mumba. While they have seemed invincible on many occasions this season, this could be a tight game.
Mohammadreza Chiyaneh is a beast of a player and the best captaincy option for this game, with Mohit Goyat not far behind. Krishan Dhull could have a great game against the left raiding Aslam Inamdar, with Mayur Kadam and Babu M providing good budget options to enable some of the more expensive picks.
