#7 Jaipur Pink Panthers
Inaugural Pro Kabaddi League champions Jaipur Pink Panthers added stars like Arjun Deshwal and Dharmaraj Cheralathan to their squad. They have what it takes to make it to the playoffs, but they need to play with consistency.
Last season, Jaipur started their season with four consecutive victories but failed to finish in the top 6.
#6 Gujarat Giants
Gujarat Giants have assembled one of the strongest defensive units in Pro Kabaddi history for PKL 2021. They have a quartet of Ravinder Pahal, Girish Ernak, Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal.
They lack a lead raider, and if one of the players can lead the attack well, Gujarat could go the distance in Pro Kabaddi 2021.
#5 Bengaluru Bulls
Former Pro Kabaddi League winners Bengaluru Bulls have added a lot of firepower to their raid attack, but their defense does not seem equally strong.
Bengaluru's raid attack featuring Pawan Kumar, Deepak Narwal, Chandran Ranjit and Dong Geon Lee has the capacity to win matches single-handedly. If their defense supports them, Bengaluru can win their second championship this season.
#4 Puneri Paltan
Puneri Paltan have formed a dream raiding duo of Rahul Chaudhari and Nitin Tomar along with a dream corner duo of Vishal Bhardwaj and Baldev Singh.
If their supporting players play their roles to perfection, Puneri Paltan can qualify for the maiden PKL final this year.
#3 UP Yoddha
Like Puneri Paltan, UP Yoddha have two game-changing raiders in Pardeep Narwal and Shrikant Jadhav as well as two corner defenders in Sumit and Nitesh Kumar.
The other players' performances will play an important role in determining if UP Yoddha can end their knockout jinx in Pro Kabaddi 2021.
#2 Dabang Delhi KC
Dabang Delhi KC have formed one of the strongest squads in Pro Kabaddi League history. They retained youngsters Naveen Kumar and Vijay and added experienced players like Jeeva Kumar, Ajay Thakur, Sandeep Narwal, Manjeet Chhillar and Joginder Narwal to the squad.
If the players manage to remain fit throughout the season, the Dabangs will be unstoppable in Pro Kabaddi 2021.
#1 Bengal Warriors
Defending champions Bengal Warriors have the most complete squad in Pro Kabaddi 2021 and have depth in both departments. Iranian all-rounder Mohammad Esmaeil Nabibakhsh adds a lot of balance to the squad.
The addition of Abozar Mighani and Rishank Devadiga has bolstered Bengal's strength ahead of Pro Kabaddi 2021. The chances of Bengal successfully retaining the trophy are very high.
