Players to watch out for

Patna Pirates

Ankit Jaglan will be leading the three-time champions in the upcoming season. They were runners-up last year and have assembled an equally strong squad to win the title. Ankit’s contribution as a defender will be crucial to stop Yoddhas, which possess a slew of Raiders who could be relentless in the attack.

UP Yoddhas

Gagan Gowda was exceptional in the opening game against the Titans. He scored 14 points with ease without dropping much of a sweat.

He scored bonus points at will and tempted defenders to give him touch points. Patna have an experienced Defensive unit, and if he could repeat, Yoddhas could end up winning the game.

Possible starting 7

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