"My team is set. Their team, I think, they will take a match or two more to get settled. They have a very strong group of raiders, defenders, along with the Baadshah of kabaddi, Anup Kumar, who is a genius. We had won the final by 8-10 points, and this match also we won by 8-10 points," Singh said.

The Pirates hold the 11th spot in the Pro Kabaddi standings with only two points from six matches. They will play their next match against former champions Dabang Delhi KC on September 20.
