Cheralathan didn’t enjoy the best of the seasons as captain of Telugu Titans

The team has the opportunity to break the defending champions’ jinx and bag two back to back titles in 2016. Besides, their captain had a forgettable season with Telugu Titans and yet owing to his vast experience has been handed the responsibility of leading the defending champions. It will be a great opportunity for him to improve his record as a captain with a much stronger side at his disposal.

The vastly talented Pardeep Narwal at the age of 19 will be itching to prove that his performance last season was no flash in the pan and he is a raider as good as any in the league.

He was one of the two who was retained by the management ahead of the auctions, the other being Rajesh Mondal. The Iranian duo of Fazel Atrachali and Hadi Oshtorok have been under utilised to say the least by their previous owners most of the time and they have a great opportunity to become regulars in the Patna outfit.
