Jaipur Pink Panthers will look to maintain their winning momentum in PKL 12 against U Mumba.

Day 24 of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) promises a phenomenal match between Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba. The clash will be a blockbuster as Jaipur’s star raiders Nitin Dhankhar and Ali Samadi take on U Mumba’s defence.

Both Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba are placed in the middle of the points table and will be looking for a win to strengthen their position. Both teams had contrasting last matches. The Pink Panthers are coming with an impressive performance against Bengal Warriorz. While U Mumba devastatingly lost to Puneri Paltan.

Jaipur will look to continue their winning momentum and hope to replicate a similar performance against U Mumba. On the other hand, U Mumba are desperate to make a strong comeback and will be hoping for a better performance from their players.

On that note, let’s take a look at the key battles to watch out for between the Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba in PKL 12.

Nitin Dhankar vs Rinku Sharma

The marquee raider of the Jaipur Pink Panthers, Nitin Dhankar, is causing a berserk on the mat. In the last match, he scored 13 raid points and will be looking to deliver another strong raiding performance. Nitin has been phenomenal throughout the season, consistently delivering for his team in crucial stages.

His form is a huge concern for U Mumba, and they will be making a strategy to stop him. To stop him, U Mumba will rely on Rinku Sharma, who performed brilliantly in the last match.

Despite U Mumba’s poor performance in the last match, Rinku was the only player who performed well. He scored four tackle points. Rinku will be aiming for a strong defensive performance against Jaipur and will be keen to tackle Nitin Dhankar

Ali Samadi vs Sunil Kumar

Jaipur’s star boy, Ali Samadi, is having a dream debut season. He has impressed everyone with his brilliant raiding skills and has given proper support to Nitin Dhankar in the raiding department. The Iranian raider scored 12 points in the last match and will be looking for his 3rd consecutive Super 10.

Sunil Kumar, who has been the most consistent defender in the history of the Pro Kabaddi league, is finding it a bit difficult to perform this season.

He has been struggling a bit, and U Mumba will be hoping for him to return to his form. His experience will be crucial to stop the Jaipur raider, and he will be looking to deliver a match-winning performance.

Reza Mirbagheri vs Amir Mohammad Zafardanesh

Another Iranian star, Reza Mirbagheri, is the best defender for the Jaipur Pink Panthers this season. He has scored 14 points in 7 matches. However, he failed to impress in the last game. He scored just one tackle point. He will be hoping to make a strong comeback against U Mumba and will be looking to stop U Mumba’s raider.

On the other hand, another Iranian all-rounder, Amir Mohammad Zafardanesh, will take on the mat for U Mumba. He will be looking to deliver a match-winning performance.

U Mumba had high hopes for him, but he has not been able to perform well so far. This time, he will be desperate to make a comeback and will want his team to win the match.
