Manpreet Singh, the head coach of Haryana Steelers and the current Champions guide Manpreet Singh, praised the new format and said, ‘The league is getting bigger and kabaddi is also getting bigger due to the format change. This format is very good because the teams who are left behind have a chance to return. We will try our best to defend the trophy. The team is also better than last time. One or two faces have changed. Everyone else is the same.
Patna Pirates coach Anoop Kumar Naqaah, ‘Our team’s legacy has been very good, but it is also a kind of pressure. Players keep changing. When Patna won three consecutive seasons, the team was different, coaches were different. When reached the finals twice, the team was still different. This season is a new season. Some players have changed and some have been from last season. The coach has also changed. This is the effort that this time it should be a good start and what Patna could not do in the last season, show it.
Puneri Paltan coach Ajay Thakur said about his team’s defense strategy, ‘I am doing a lot of work on fitness. I think the team that makes less defensive mistakes, wins. Whose defense is strong, he becomes the champion. I am trying to support our defense, the raider should also support the defense. Defense only wins the match.
Tamil Thalaivas coach Sanjeev Balayana spoke of playing without any pressure. He said, ‘Every coach wants to win. We also want. All teams are good. Now let’s see who wins. There is no pressure on us. When you play on Matt, it does not know what the audience is saying. The pressure comes only by winning.
