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

The game will be a battle of the young raiders.

A blockbuster weekend awaits in the Jaipur leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). The home team, Jaipur Pink Panthers, will face UP Yoddhas in the first game on Saturday. When these two sides faced off last time, it was in the Eliminator in Season 11 and the Yoddhas annihilated Jaipur to a convincing win.

Jaipur Pink Panthers would want to take revenge. On the other hand, Yoddhas will look to get back to winning ways.

Having let go of Arjun Deshwal, they invested in young star Nitin Dhankar, who has been impressive. With the Yoddhas’ line-up full of young Raiders, the fans could witness some quality action.

Players to watch out for

UP Yoddhas – Hitesh

Hitesh was one of the big investments of UP Yoddhas in the last two years. While there were huge expectations ahead of the season, the right corner hasn’t been able to meet them.

But Hitesh will be eager to make it, and he will be happy to see the Pink Jerseys. In the Eliminator last year, Hitesh High-5 and 100% tackle strike rate made the difference, and he would want to repeat it.

Jaipur Pink Panthers – Sahil Satpal

Jaipur’s raiding line-up has been a lonely affair so far, with Nitin Dhankhar being the lone warrior. If there is one player who could support him, it is Sahil Satpal. His Super-10 against the likes of Fazel Atrachali, Surjeet Singh, and Saurabh Nandal showcased his ability to perform against the best. With coach Narender Redhu backing him, he is expected to inflict the same against the Yoddhas.

Possible starting 7

UP Yoddhas – Sumit Sangwan, Gagan Gowda, Mahender Singh, Guman Singh, Ashu Singh, Bhavani Rajput, Hitesh.

Jaipur Pink Panthers – Reza Mirbagheri, Aashish Kumar, Aryan Kumar, Nitin Dhankhar, Ali Choubtarash, Sahil Satpal, Deepanshu Khatri.

Match Prediction

UP Yoddhas will start as favourites against the home team, considering the raiding backups. The Panthers’ raiding department has been heavily dependent on Nitin Dhankhar, and it will be difficult for one man to beat a quality team.
