Match 47 of the Pro Kabaddi League 2017 brings the burden of heavy expectations on a young Tamil
Thalaivas side. Suffering a nail-biting draw and then a loss in their last two games, the Thalaivas are looking to finally find their groove and come away with a win in their match against the Patna Pirates. They will face an experienced Patna Pirates team who specialise in offensive play. Pirates Captain Pardeep Narwal will be the main offensive threat for them to watch out for. On the side of the defence, Thalaivas Captain Ajay Thakur will hope to bring his A-game against Pirates Defenders Vishal Mane and Sachin Shingade.
Star Offensive Threat: K. Prapanjan

Patna Pirates
Team record so far: W W D L D
League Position: Zone B, 2nd Position
The Patna Pirates are coming off an unfortunate draw vs the Bengal Warriors as an effective performance from Bengal’s Deepak Narwal saw them draw their last game 36-36. The Patna Pirates main threats are their experience and their focus on aggressive attacking play, both of which could prove to be punishing to a young Tamil Thalaivas side. Captain PardeepNarwal will look to continue his great performances this season alongside his offensive partners Monu Goyat and Vinod Kumar. In defense, Vishal Mane will be taking control of proceedings assisted Jaideep. Tamil Thalaivas captain Ajay Thakur poses a very dangerous threat to Patna as the raider’s performances this season have been both lethal and consistent.
Star Offensive Threat: Pardeep Narwal
