Puneri Paltan, along with U Mumba, were the two franchises who were chosen as the representatives of India's biggest Kabaddi center, Maharashtra. U Mumba had got off to a flyer in the initial seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League but the Puneri Paltan had a complete opposite campaign in the earlier seasons.
However, the Pune franchise changed its fortunes in the future editions and made some huge purchases in the auction to establish themselves as title contenders.
