Weaknesses
The complexion of the team has drastically changed from the last season and to nitpick weaknesses of a unit that hasn’t played much together is difficult. But that’s where their major weakness lies.
The team, no matter how strong it looks on paper, is yet to play as a unit. The team will be missing most of the star names that won them the title last season and in the absence of the core, the composition looks quite hollow despite some good reinforcements in the form of Bajirao Hodage and Fazel Atrachali.
Also, Sandeep Narwal was spectacular in the last season and his presence will be missed as the team doesn’t boast of an all rounder of the experienced Narwal’s calibre.
Dharamaraj Cheralathan will have big shoes to fill as he would replace Manpreet Singh as the skipper of the side who was exceptional in handling leadership duties last season. Another major weakness that a cursory glance at the squad would reveal is the absence of backup raiders.
