Haryana Steelers start raider Prashanth Kumar Rai said that the players were raring to go after a three-day break.

 

"We have won three matches now and every player's confidence is high at the moment. I am looking forward to the next match since Bengaluru is my home ground. We have had rest for three days since the last match so the players are fit. Now, we'll work out our strategies for Puneri Paltan," said the 35-year-old.
 
The Steelers will hold the upper hand when they face Puneri Paltan as they have beaten Paltan 34-24 in their first match of PKL 2019. However, Haryana will have to be wary of raiders Nitin Tomar and Manjeet. They made a massive contribution in Puneri Paltan's victory over Telugu Titans.
