About Patna Pirates
The Patna Pirates are based in Patna and play in green and magenta-purple. The club’s history turns on three seasons in the middle of the league’s first decade. In Season 3, Patna beat U Mumba 31–28 in the final. In Season 4, Patna beat Jaipur Pink Panthers 37–29. In Season 5, Patna beat Gujarat Giants 55–38, the widest final margin of the three and one of the most one-sided finals the league has staged. Three seasons, three finals, three titles.
No other club has matched that run. Patna Pirates remain the only team with three championships, and the only team to win three in a row. Dabang Delhi K.C. and Jaipur Pink Panthers hold two titles each. Eight different clubs have won the league across twelve seasons, which makes a three-season hold on the trophy harder to explain away: the league changed around Patna, and Patna kept winning.
The later finals went the other way, and they belong in this record too. Patna lost the Season 8 final to Dabang Delhi K.C. by a single point, 37–36. Patna lost the Season 11 final to Haryana Steelers, 32–23. Five finals in twelve seasons is itself a mark of consistency: no club has been in the last match of the season more often in the verified record on this page.

| Season | Result | Final score | Opponent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 3 | Champion | Won 31–28 | U Mumba |
| Season 4 | Champion | Won 37–29 | Jaipur Pink Panthers |
| Season 5 | Champion | Won 55–38 | Gujarat Giants |

| Season 11 (2024) | Runner-up | Lost 23–32 | Haryana Steelers |
Patna Pirates Season 12 Review
The Patna Pirates finished Season 12 in 7th place. The club won 8 of 18 league matches, lost 10, and earned 16 points with a score difference of +10 under the official Win = 2, Loss = 0 system. Season 12 ran from 29 August to 31 October 2025, with legs in Vizag, Jaipur, Chennai, and Delhi. Seventh place was inside the top eight, so Patna reached the playoffs.
The team’s headline, though, came from two individual seasons. Ayan Lohchab of Patna Pirates was named Best Raider for Season 12, scoring 316 raid points in 22 games. Navdeep of Patna Pirates was named Best Defender, scoring 73 tackle points in 21 games. One club holding both the Best Raider and Best Defender awards in the same season is a rare sweep, and it sits oddly — in a good way — next to a 7th-place team finish. Patna had the league’s best raider and its best defender, and still finished in the lower half of the playoff places. That gap between individual output and team position is the clearest Season 13 question for this club.
Which Patna Pirates players won Season 12 awards?
Two Patna Pirates players won Season 12 awards. Ayan Lohchab was Best Raider with 316 raid points in 22 games. Navdeep was Best Defender with 73 tackle points in 21 games. The Season 12 Most Valuable Player award went to Fazel Atrachali of Dabang Delhi K.C., the champions.
