Key Khiladi -

Surjeet Singh – Bengal Warriors

Bengal Warriors captain PO Surjeet Singh has managed seven tackle points in his last two outings at an outstanding strike rate of 70, indicating a return to form just in time for the business end of the campaign. With Bengal Warriors coming up against the league’s highest average scoring offence, Singh’s leadership, as well as his gameplay in the Right Cover position, will be a big factor in his team’s quest for a crucial victory over the reigning champion.

Jaideep – Patna Pirates

With 56 tackle points, Patna Pirates’ second-year player Jaideep is yet again leading the team in defence this campaign. The Left Corner will be up against one of the league’s best raiders in Maninder Singh and, Jaideep’s duel against the Bengal Warriors ace will be the key to Patna Pirates’ victory. Jaideep has managed two High 5s in his two appearances against Bengal Warriors this campaign and will be aiming to make it a hattrick on Saturday.
