PKL 12: Jaipur Pink Panthers' full schedule & squad for Pro Kabaddi 2025

Jaipur Pink Panthers will start their campaign against Patna Pirates in PKL 12.
Two-time Pro Kabaddi League champions Jaipur Pink Panthers have set a very high standard for themselves in the tournament. They had an average outing last time around, huffing and puffing to sixth place on the table.
Jaipur were drubbed 18-46 by the UP Yoddhas in the Eliminator. Pink Panthers have made changes right from the top, replacing experienced coach Sanjeev Kumar Baliyan with Narender Redhu, who led the Patna Pirates to the final in the previous edition. They then opted for a revamp of the squad.
They retained just six players and, with a massive purse of Rs. 3.30 Cr available, purchased thirteen players. The Panthers took several interesting calls in the auction, including not using the Final Bid Match (FBM) Card to bring back stars like Arjun Deshwal and Ankush Rathee. A team that has always shown its faith in youth, they are sticking to their principle this time too.
Let’s take a look at their full schedule and squad for PKL 12.
