Former U Mumba raider Arjun Deshwal has been roped by Jaipur Pink Panthers for a whopping sum of INR 96 lakh for the upcoming season, making him the third most expensive player to be sold in the auction. Ajay Thakur, Manjeet Chillar, and Monu Goyat have been retained by their respective franchises.

Many of Pardeep Narwal’s records were broken in this season by Naveen Kumar and Pawan Sehrawat but no one could pick six points in a single raid that Pardeep Narwal had done against Haryana Steelers. However, it was the Patna skipper himself, who equalled that against Bengal warriors last evening.

BC Ramesh has stated that it was important for Bengal Warriors to test the bench strength in their previous game against Patna Pirates which they lost by a big margin of 69-41. Bengal coach Ramesh also heaped praise on Patna skipper Pardeep Narwal, who scored 34 points against a weak Bengal defence.

Patna Pirates skipper Pardeep Narwal has said that the team won against Gujarat Fortunegiants because of the joint effort despite him being the top scorer of the match. It was the second-last match of the season for both Gujarat and Patna as none of them were able to make it to the play-offs.
