PKL 12: Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Patna Pirates prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Jaipur Pink Panthers will begin their PKL 12 journey against the Patna Pirates.

Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 12) will finally witness the Jaipur Pink Panthers in action. They will take on three-time champions Patna Pirates in the second game on Tuesday.

Jaipur suffered a huge blow before they even started their PKL 12 campaign. Their experienced raider Manjeet Dahiya has been ruled out due to an injury.

The inaugural champions were already short on raiding resources, and Manjeet’s absence will be a body blow. They will depend on their big signings, Nitin Dhankar and Uday Parte, to do the bulk of the raiding. Patna, with their experience, would want to work together to get the win and two points.

Players to watch out for

Jaipur Pink Panthers

The Jaipur Pink Panthers surprised many during the auction when they decided not to use the FBM card for Arjun Deshwal.

Appointing Narender Redhu as the head coach, he made every effort to include Nitin Dhankar in the team, who made his impressive debut with Bengal Warriorz. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the new challenge.

Patna Pirates

Patna Pirates made it to the finals on the back of two quality raiders. While Devank Dalal stole the spotlight, he had great support in the form of Ayan Lohchab.

The tall raider was equally impressive, scoring points at will, winning him the New Young Player award last year. He will have to prove himself in the all-important second season.

Possible Starting 7

Jaipur Pink Panthers – Ronak Singh, Reza Mirbagheri, Mohit, Nitin Rawal, Nitin Dhankar, Uday Parte, Vinay Redhu.

Patna Pirates – Maninder Singh, Ayan Lohchab, Sudhakar M, Deepak Singh, Sanket Sawan, Sombir Gulia, Ankit Jaglan.

Match Prediction

Patna Pirates are a much-settled unit and will start as favorites. On the other hand, Panthers have assembled a new squad, letting go of their star players Arjun Deshwal and Ankush Rathee. Pirates could take the win in this contest.
