The Pro Kabaddi League 2018 is on in full swing. We are now extremely close to the end of the league, but the biggest question has been raised, which three teams will qualify for the playoffs from Zone B?
Gujarat Fortune Giants and U Mumba have already qualified from Zone A, and we are pretty sure that Dabang Delhi will be doing the same soon enough.
But what's up with Zone B? There is just too much confusion. Well, don't worry, because we have got you covered. Here is a list of three teams that can qualify for the playoffs from Zone B:
#3 Telegu Titans
Telegu Titans, the team from the South, has a great probability of qualifying for the playoffs from Zone B. You have our very own poster boy Rahul Chaudhari on the squad. If we also ignore Chaudhari, the team has the outstanding young captain Vishal Bhardwaj and the ace defender Abozar Mighani.
They were the runner-ups of season 4. The fifth season didn't go pretty well for the Titans but it is safe to say that they can qualify for the playoffs in season 6. It is indeed a true fact that the players make or break a team. Let's talk about Rahul Chaudhari first.
This man is a marvel. Popularly known as the poster boy of Pro Kabaddi, he has proved as to why he is a major player. He became the second player to complete in the mind-boggling 800 points mark. Rahul's game is purely beautiful, and not just raids, this man has also successfully performed a good number of tackles!
Abozar, you miracle! This wonderful Irani defender is even better than your regular Irani Chai. He left everyone bamboozled with his resplendent game. Way to go, man!
Captain Vishal Bhardwaj, Mohsen Maghsoudlou, Nilesh Salunke, and Farhad Milaghardan have also done an exceptional job this season. With just three matches left for them, we hope that they will make a place for them in the playoffs.
#2 Patna Pirates
Yes, the defending champions Patna Pirates have made it on the list once again. They had a pretty damp start as they lost their very first match of the season against Tamil Thalaivas. Their home leg performance was also pretty disappointing as they won just two out of six matches.
Pirates currently stand on number two in Zone B behind Bengaluru Bulls. Although they have not done an exceptional job this season, they might qualify having won 9 matches out of 18.
Keeping stats aside, let us now talk about the players on the squad. Pardeep Narwal. The invincible. Yes, the one who became the very first person to cross the 800 points mark in just 4 seasons.
Words fall short for him as he is spiffing. Have you ever seen any player score eight points in a single raid? What? Eight points in a single raid. That. Is. Wickedly. Insane. That is Pardeep Narwal for you.
He stands on the third position on the best raiders' list with 197 points in 17 matches. The most number of points scored by him in one match is 27. Yes, you read that right. He even left us flabbergasted after scoring 34 points in a single match against Haryana last season.
It is unbelievable that Manjeet made a debut this season. Manjeet has massively contributed in every win of Patna. Also Vijay and Deepak. Both have priorly played for Patna Pirates in the past and have done a great job.
Defence is also covered with the likes of Vikas Kale and Jaideep, but they will have to endeavour for the team's sake. They should not forget that they will have to win all their remaining matches if they want to seal their spot in the playoffs.
#1 Bengaluru Bulls
Yes, the old Bengaluru Bulls are back in season 6, this time with some new faces. If you have been a PKL fan since the inaugural season, you might know what an excellent team Bangalore was. With the likes of Ajay Thakur and mighty Manjeet Chillar, the team was shining as bright as a star.
Statistically talking, they have won a total of 11 matches out of 18 so far. They also recorded three wins out of six in their home leg this season. Bulls are also the table toppers of Zone B.
Let us now talk about their players. "Oh Pawan Sehrawat, what are thee"? If you don't know already, this 22-year old raider is a thunder (quite similar to his name, meaning "a gush of air"), striking the defenders every now and then.
He started his PKL career in season 3, but with no luck. The sixth edition of this league was a warhorn for him, which made him push to unimaginable extents and we have the results freshly laid in front of us.
He stands on number 2 in the line of best raiders having completed 200 raid points, that too surpassing the mojo raider Pardeep Narwal. Excellent work, Pawan.
As you might have already guessed, Rohit Kumar, who is one of the wonders of kabaddi, is next on our list. He is the backbone of the team. This Akshay Kumar fan, who can be spotted flaunting his name as "Akki" Kumar while playing, is a real wonder.
And how could we forget our very own missile, Kashiling Adake? He has shown a variety of skills in both offence and defence, which was wonderful. What about Ashish Kumar, Mahender Singh, Amit Sheoran and Mahesh Magdum? Bulls' squad has undoubtedly given us a great show this season. Let's hope that they qualify for the playoffs!
