The three-time champions have won just one of their last nine matches and need a quick turnaround in fortunes if they still want to harbor hopes of making the playoffs. ‘Record Breaker’ Parrdeep Narwal has been at his brilliant best but has lacked support from his teammates. His raid points in the Patna Pirates last game went in vain, and that has been the story of the season for the team so far. Jaideep is their leading tackle points scorer, but his last few outings have not been his most productive.
