Ankush Rathee vs Ashu Malik

Ankush Rathee is one of the in-form defenders in the Jaipur Pink Panthers lineup. The defender is strong in his tackling and reads the movement of the raiders well. He has 30 successful tackles in PKL 11, the most in the squad. His job would be to emerge victorious in the battle against the best raider in the Pro Kabaddi League at the moment in Ashu Malik.

Dabang Delhi is blessed to have Ashu Malik who is leading the charts, at the time of writing, as the player with the most points scored. He has managed 140 points in 12 outings already. In that period, Malik has also scored 11 Super 10s from 12 matches.

Arjun Deshwal vs Yogesh

Arjun Deshwal is a major force who can single-handedly win matches for the Jaipur Pink Panthers. The expert raider has 109 points in 10 PKL 11 matches, the third-highest tally for an individual player at the time of writing.

Yogesh would be tasked to silence Arjun Deshwal’s threat. The defender, who won the Emerging Player of the Season award last term, has become a key player for the side this campaign. He has 34 tackle points and would like to add more to the tally.

Reza Mirbagheri vs Naveen Kumar

Reza Mirbagheri is a strong defender who loves to tackle raiders and catch them by surprise. His task would be to stop Naveen Kumar from scoring a lot of points. Dabang Delhi’s skipper made a comeback from a long-term injury in the previous PKL 11 match against Gujarat Giants and scored nine points.

It is hard to predict who will come out on top between Reza Mirbagheri and Naveen Kumar. The outcome of this battle is going to play a major role in deciding the eventual winner of the match.
