UP Yoddha vs Jaipur Pink Panthers Match Preview: 

UP Yoddha have had a mixed start to their Pro Kabaddi League season 8 campaign, with 1 win and 1 loss in two matches they have played. UP Yoddha lost their first match to defending champions Bengal Warriors by 33-38 but made a comeback and clinched a close win over Patna Pirates by 36-35. 

Jaipur Pink Panthers have had a similar story as they have also managed to win 1 and lose 1 match. After they lost their opening game against Gujarat Giants by 27-34, they bounced back to register a win over Haryana Steelers by 40-38. 

Pardeep Narwal lived up to his name of ‘Raiding Masterclass’ against his former team Patna Pirates with support from other players. However, UP Yoddha coach Jasveer Singh would be expecting more from another star raider Shrikant Jadhav, who was the skipper of UP Yoddha before the inclusion of Pardeep Narwal. 

Jaipur Pink Panthers’ coach Sanjeev Kumar Baliyan will most probably place right corner Shaul Kumar in the starting 7 who made a tremendous debut against Haryana. On the other hand, Sandeep Dhull’s availability will decide Dharmraj Cheralathan’s fate in the match, whether he’ll continue in the starting 7 or not.

UP Yoddha vs Jaipur Pink Panthers Prediction:

UP Yoddha will start off as favourites to win this match against Jaipur Pink Panthers. 

Pardeep Narwal proved to the world why UP Yoddha went all out in the PKL 2021 auction to buy him, as he registered a stunning Super 10 to his name in his second match for UP Yoddha. 

The best raider in the Pro Kabaddi League history will face a tough scoring contest from Jaipur’s raiding sensation Arjun Deshwal. The raider from Services has been a raiding force to be reckoned with, as he has registered Super 10s in both the matches he has played in Pro Kabaddi League season 8. Arjun currently has 27 raid points to his name for Jaipur Pink Panthers in the two matches they have played this season.
