Nitin Dhankhar has been a star performer for Jaipur Pink Panthers in PKL 12.

Jaipur Pink Panthers are all set to take on Dabang Delhi in match 67 of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) on Monday, October 6, at the SDAT multi-purpose Indoor Stadium in Chennai.

Dabang Delhi are standing tall at the top of the PKL 2025 points table with 18 points and a score difference of 69 from 10 matches. They have registered nine wins and one loss so far in the ongoing edition of the Pro Kabaddi League.

On the other hand, Jaipur Pink Panthers are sixth in the standings with 12 points from 11 matches, having won six games and lost five. The two-time PKL champions have a score difference of -5 so far this season.

Jaipur missed the services of their star raider Nitin Dhankhar during their previous Chennai leg encounter against Season 10 champions Puneri Paltan. They lost the match 41-36 against the Pune-based franchise, despite Ali Samadi’s 22 points.

But, now the question is, will Nitin Dhankhar play against Dabang Delhi tonight? Know here.

Nitin Dhankhar missed the Jaipur Pink Panthers’ previous encounter against Puneri Paltan due to an injury he suffered in the Chennai leg clash against Haryana Steelers on Wednesday, October 1. The Indian raider was subbed off after five raids, including one unsuccessful raid and four empty raids.

Pink Panthers’ head coach Narender Redhu gives a little info about Nitin’s injury after their last match against Puneri Paltan. He said, Nitin will return to the mat very soon. However, he is not yet fully fit.

Therefore, he is unlikely to have recovered yet and will miss Jaipur Pink Panthers’ last Chennai leg clash against the Delhi-based franchise on Monday.

The Pink Panthers will miss the services of the raider, who has amassed 109 raid points from 184 total raids across 10 matches this season. He has been a vital cog for the franchise with two Super Raids and seven Super 10s to his name.

Nitin has an average of 10.9 raid points per match and has a not out of 81.52% so far in the 12th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. The fans and management will hope for his speedy recovery and return to the match in the Delhi leg.
