The ongoing season of the Pro Kabaddi League has entered a crucial phase. Match 69 will see the mighty Patna Pirates take on the home team, Tamil Thalaivas, on Tuesday, October 7, at the SDAT Multi-purpose Stadium in Chennai.
Led by the consistent raiding efforts of Ayan Lohchab, the Pirates are always seeking to get points from all-out. They will face a stubborn Thalaivas defense, led by the formidable corner duo of Aashish and Nitesh Kumar, who will be keen to impress the local crowd and climb up the points table.
This match is a classic raider-vs-defender battle. Patna’s Ayan and Maninder Singh will need to be at their best to counter the Thalaivas' defense, while the Tamil-based team's star raider Arjun Deshwal would need to score crucial points against a strong Pirates backline, featuring Deepak Rathi, Ankit Jaglan, and Navdeep.

Patna Pirates vs Tamil Thalaivas Pro Kabaddi 2025 match prediction
The Thalaivas are playing at home, giving them a significant morale boost. Their defense, particularly Nitesh, is among the best in the league. However, the Pirates have shown better raiding consistency this season, with Ayan Lohchab proving to be a genuine match-winner.
The Thalaivas' reliance on Arjun Deshwal for raid points makes them vulnerable if the Patna Pirates' defense manages to control him. Given the all-round balance, the Pirates have a slight edge.
