PKL 2018 | Pardeep Narwal is the best raider we’ve got, says Ram Mehar Singh
Patna Pirates’ coach, Ram Mehar Singh, lavished praise on skipper Pardeep Narwal who was instrumental in the 53-36 win over Puneri Paltans on Friday night. Narwal’s 27-point effort to defeat the Paltans was one of the best performances in the ongoing season of the Pro Kabaddi League this year.
