Predicted team: Girish Maruti Ernak (Captain), Nitin Tomar, Sandeep Narwal, Rajesh Mondal, Monu, Deepak Kumar Dahiya, Ravi Kumar.

Defenders - Girish Maruti Ernak, Ravi Kumar.

Girish Ernak will be leading the side from the left corner and if he can put in performances parallel to what he did with the Indian team, then the U Mumba raiders can be expected to have a torrid day. Ravi Kumar, who had a good outing with the Paltan last season can be expected to start as well.

All-rounders: Sandeep Narwal, Monu.

Both Sandeep Narwal and Monu were retained ahead of the sixth season and for no small reason. Sandeep, in particular, is one of the world's best in the business and his precise holds and dashes can come in handy. Monu, who had an impressive season last time can also expect to start right away, his nippy raiding and clever tackling bound to assist skipper Ernak.

Raiders - Nitin Tomar, Rajesh Mondal, Deepak Dahiya.

Nitin Tomar, who led UP last season will be leading the raiding contingent of Pune this season and alongside Rajesh Mondal, who has evolved into a utility raider, the duo's alliance will be of paramount importance. Deepak Dahiya's agility and theatrics on the mat can also bring home points in heaps for the Paltan.
