#3 Gujarat superior to Patna?
It's a debate that has not yet taken life. But as we inch closer to the playoffs, one cannot help but compare the two teams which have topped their respective tables. So far, Gujarat Fortunegiants have played Patna Pirates only once this season.
The Pro Kabaddi debutants edged past the two-time champions, winning the encounter by a solitary point. When you take a step back and observe these two quality sides, it is evident that Gujarat are the more ruthless outfit out of the two.
While Monu Goyat has played an integral role for Patna this season, the Pirates still continue to largely depend on their star man, Pardeep Narwal on most occasions. The same cannot be said for Gujarat.
It's not only the raiders but the defenders as well who have shone for Gujarat. Unlike Patna, they look a much more cohesive team. Patna, on the other hand, are heavily lopsided with their defenders having failed to impress so far.
