PKL 10: Jaipur Pink Panthers Team Profile

The defending champion has all the old players present this time too.
Jaipur Pink Panthers are one of the few teams in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) to have won the PKL title more than once. They won the title in the first season in 2014 and subsequently clinched the title in the 9th season of PKL. For this reason, Jaipur Pink Panthers are now coming as defending champions, and all eyes will be on how they perform during the 10th season. Jaipur Pink Panthers also have the same players who played last season. They have retained their core team and did not acquire many players in the auction.
Jaipur Pink Panthers are looking very strong this time as well. In such a situation, let us now discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the team for the upcoming season.
Strengths of Jaipur Pink Panthers:
The team has excellent raider.
This time too, Jaipur Pink Panthers have the same raiders who were part of the team last season. They retained raiders like Arjun Deshwal and V Ajit Kumar. In addition, Bhavani Rajput and Rahul Chaudhari are also part of the team.
Arjun Deshwal has emerged as a top-class raider in the last two seasons and has proven to be a star player for the team. Arjun Deshwal scored the most raid points last season and, in addition to this, he also ranked third in terms of scoring points in do-or-die raids. V Ajit Kumar supported Arjun Deshwal very well during the 9th season, scoring 103 points in 21 matches. For this reason, the team’s raiding department looks quite strong this time.
There are many good players in the defense as well.
Jaipur’s raiding department is as strong as their defense. Sunil Kumar, who captained last season, is also part of the team this time. Additionally, defenders like Sahul Kumar and KS Abhishek provide strength to the team. Ankush, who scored the most tackle points last season, is also part of the team this time. The roles of Ankush and Sunil Kumar are going to be very important this time, and together, they make the team’s defense very strong.
Weaknesses of the team:
Rahul Chaudhari is not in form.
Rahul Chaudhari, popularly known as the Showman, is part of the Jaipur Pink Panthers team this time as well. However, his form has not been as good in the last few seasons. Rahul Chaudhari was once breaking many records in PKL and was completely dominant, but in the last few seasons, he has not been able to deliver that kind of performance. He remained unsold during the auction but was eventually bought by Jaipur Pink Panthers. Although everyone knows that Rahul is not able to perform at his best.
Players to watch:
In Jaipur Pink Panthers, the most attention will be on Showman Rahul Chaudhari. Even though he is not in the best form, there has been no decline in his fan following, which is why everyone’s eyes will be on Rahul Chaudhari. Rahul Chaudhari himself would like to overcome the disappointment of the last season and perform better this time. Apart from this, there are high expectations from Arjun Deshwal and captain Sunil Kumar.
