Having played just three seasons so far, Haryana Stealers have had their fair share of success and failures. The team was able to reach the playoffs twice, in their three attempts. And if we recall their last season, they ended up in the fifth position. However, for the eighth season they have added some match winners to their side, defenders like Surendra Nada, Rajesh Gurjar, Ravi Kumar makes their defense formidable.
However, skipper Khandola will lead the raiders for the team as he has performed exceptionally well for the franchise over the last two seasons. The running hand touch specialist has earned 433 points in 55 PKL matches so far. He will get good assistance from Rohit Gulia and Mohammad Esmaeil Maghsodlou.
