Kashiling Adake was the perfect third-raider for the Bengaluru Bulls last season. In a season where the majority of the raiding opportunities went to Rohit Kumar and Pawan Sehrawat, Kashiling picked up 84 points from 20 games in the last edition.

Kashiling Adake himself is a legendary figure in the tournament, having crossed the 100-point mark thrice in the history of the league. His experience and versatility on the mat would have been attributes which many teams could have been helped by, but none more than the Patna Pirates.

Pardeep Narwal has failed to get adequate support from the raiding department in this edition, a problem that he faced last season too. Of the 285 raid points that the team has scored so far, Pardeep has collected 190 points and none of the other raiders have even managed to cross the 50-point mark thus far.

With Kashiling Adake in the squad, this could have changed, as he proved last season despite being the third-raider for his team. He would have stepped up in difficult situations and had his impact as a leader with his matured raids and calculated risks on the mat.

Although Patna Pirates are slowly on the rise, the presence of Kashiling could have had them in a better position in the tournament as of now.
