New Young Player Award: Patna Pirates will be aiming for a record-extending fourth Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) title in the upcoming Season 12. The three-time champions stormed into their fifth PKL final last season, only to go down to the Haryana Steelers.

After missing out on their fourth PKL trophy, the Pirates released former head coach Narender Redhu just a few hours after the season 11 final.

Ahead of Season 12, the Pirates appointed former India Kabaddi team captain Anup Kumar as their new head coach, replacing Narender Redhu.
