The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 season is already heating up as defending champions Puneri Paltan gear up to face off against Haryana Steelers in the fourth match of the season. Scheduled for October 19 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, this encounter promises to be a thrilling clash between the PKL 10 finalists.
Puneri Paltan dominated PKL 10, delivering a spectacular campaign that ended with them lifting the trophy. Under the captaincy of Aslam Inamdar, the team has retained most of its core players from last season, ensuring continuity in their well-balanced squad. The likes of Inamdar, Mohit Goyat, and others will once again lead the charge for Paltan.
However, one significant absence for the champions is Mohammadreza Shadlou Chiyaneh. The Iranian powerhouse, who was the best defender last season with 99 tackle points, has switched sides to join Haryana Steelers. His absence leaves a notable gap at the left corner, but Paltan have plenty of depth and quality to compensate. They boast strong backups and a solid unit capable of going all the way again.
Meanwhile, Haryana Steelers, led by young Jaideep Dahiya and coached by the experienced Manpreet Singh, made a stunning run to the final last season. A relatively young and underdog squad, they defied all odds to reach the summit clash and have since emerged as a side to watch. The Steelers were inspired by their resilient performances, and their hunger to avenge last season's final defeat will fuel them against the mighty Paltan.
The addition of Mohammadreza Shadlou Chiyaneh is a massive boost for Haryana. It will undoubtedly strengthen their lineup, and the narrative of him facing his former team, Puneri Paltan, adds another exciting layer to the contest. Fans will be eager to see how Shadlou fits into the Steelers' game plan and whether he can deliver against his former teammates.
