UP Yoddha finished on the 3rd spot on the Pro Kabaddi League season 7 points table with 13 wins and 7 tied matches in their 22 games, registering 74 points to their name. However, their tournament was ended by the Bengaluru Bulls in the Eliminator. With Pardeep Narwal joining the UP franchise, they will be eyeing the title this time around. 

The defending champions Bengal Warriors managed to retain their core from the previous season, whilst making some very smart buys. They brought in the likes of Rishank Devadiga, Sukesh Hegde and Abozar Mighani – all of whom are expected to walk into the starting seven. 

The UP Yoddha, on the other hand, went all out to buy the star raider Pardeep Narwal and also roped in the dependable Srikanth Jadhav to strengthen their attack. Both the teams look well balanced on paper and one can certainly not rule out both these playing out yet nail-biting draw
