Players to watch out for:

Gagan Gowda (UP Yoddhas)

Surender Gill and Bharat Hooda were unable to maintain their form after a good start, which prompted coach Jasveer Singh to try Plan B, involving Gagan Gowda and Bhavani Rajput as UP Yoddhas‘ main raiders. Both have delivered, with the former especially wreaking havoc. Gagan has scored 112 raid points in 15 matches, with 5 Super 10s.

Not long ago, Gagan had a stunning phase, where he scored 54 raid points in four matches. However, he couldn’t make a big impact in the last two matches. Since we are at the business end of the league, every match is crucial. The lanky raider will be looking to regain his confidence and set fire to the mat again.

Rakesh (Gujarat Giants)

Rakesh wasn’t able to replicate his consistency from the previous seasons in this edition. As a result, he was benched after the first few matches. However, Parteek’s injury meant that coach Ram Mehar Singh decided to bring Rakesh back into the starting VII. The raider has done well ever since and has formed a potent raiding duo with Guman Singh, their best raider of the season.

While Rakesh cumulatively has only 71 points in 17 matches, his figures in the last three matches have been much better, scoring 28 points. This shows that he is slowly finding his rhythm and the raider would want to use that momentum to end a disappointing season on a high.

Predicted Starting 7:

Gujarat Giants:

Guman Singh, Rakesh, Jitender Yadav, Manuj, Neeraj Kumar, Mohit, Rohit.

UP Yoddhas:

Gagan Gowda, Bhavani Rajput, Bharat Hooda, Hitesh, Ashu Singh, Mahender Singh, Sumit.
