The 2024 season of the Pro Kabaddi League is just around the corner, and the 12 participating teams are all set to give their 100 per cent to secure the ultimate prize at the end of the season. The tournament will kick off on October 18 in Hyderabad, and teams will hope to get the best possible start to their campaign. The first step in doing so is understanding the team compositions. Keeping that in mind, here is the SWOT analysis of last edition’s runner-ups, Haryana Steelers.

Strengths
Haryana’s biggest strength in the upcoming season will be their defence, with retained defenders Rahul Sethpal and Jaideep. The Steelers will also have the services of Iranian star Mohammadreza Shadloui, last season’s top defender, making their defensive line something to look out for.
Weaknesses
While defence will be Haryana’s greatest ally, their inexperienced raiding line-up is one department they need to work on before the start of the season. Vinay will be the Steelers’ only experienced raider in PKL 2024, which means they will heavily depend on him to perform and lead the other young raiders to compete with the strong raiding lines of other teams.
Opportunities
The long list of inexperienced players also allows them to surprise other teams with unexpected tactics and approaches to the game. With experienced coach Manpreet Singh continuing his role, the Steelers are capable of pulling off surprises.
Threats
Haryana Steelers Full Squad for PKL 2024
Rahul Sethpal, Ghanshyam Magar, Jaideep, Mohit, Vinay, Jaya Soorya NS, Hardeep, Shivam Anil Patare, Vishal S. Tate, Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh, Gnana Abhishek, Manikandan S, Sahil, Vikas Jadhav, Sanjay, Manikandan S, Ashish Gill, Naveen, Sanskar Mishra
