Wikipedia - Puneri Paltan

Puneri Paltan is a professional kabaddi team that represents the city of Pune, Maharashtra in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team, coached by BC Ramesh, plays at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex. Puneri Paltan, a founding member of the Pro Kabaddi League, has been relatively unsuccessful after finishing last during its initial seasons (2014 and 2015). The Paltan did learn from their mistakes during the 2016(January) season, making the playoffs for the first time and eventually finishing third. After narrowly missing the playoffs in the 2016 (June) season, they earned a playoff spot in the 2017 season. In the 2018-19 season, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. Inconsistency has been the major reason that has hampered Pune's success throughout the Pro Kabaddi League. On December 15 2022, Puneri Paltan beat Tamil Thalaivas in the semi-final of the 9th season of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League and advanced to their maiden PKL final, but unfortunately lost to Jaipur Pink Panthers.

In the 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League, Puneri Paltan finished the group stages in the first position with record number of points in a PKL season (96), alongside record score difference (253). They defeated Patna Pirates to advance to the finale and defeated the Haryana Steelers by a margin of 28–25 in the final, making this the most successful campaign in a season by Puneri Paltan (or any team) in PKL history.
