PKL 12: Where & how to watch Haryana Steelers vs UP Yoddhas, Match 16 of Pro Kabaddi 2025

Both teams are coming with impressive wins.

A big weekend awaits in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), and the first day will see two strong sides battling it out. The defending champions, Haryana Steelers, will face the ever-consistent UP Yoddhas. Both teams had great wins in their previous games and will be eager to continue their winning run.

Haryana would be happy to clinch a win after losing the first game. With Naveen Kumar in striking form, the defending champions are slowly laying a strong foundation. They will have a tough challenge on Friday. The Yoddhas are running high on confidence with two wins from two games.

They have a strong squad with the likes of Sahul Kumar and Surender Gill in the substitutes’ line-up. These players would otherwise command a place in the starting seven on other teams. The Steelers will love this challenge against the Yoddhas.

Players to watch out for

Haryana Steelers – Jaideep Dahiya

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. A saying perfectly describes Jaideep’s performance in their last game.

The skipper couldn’t score a single point for the first 35 minutes, and when he needed to, he tackled the best raider of the opposition twice in the last 5 minutes, with both being do-or-die raids, which helped them win the game. He will be looking to make a bigger impact against the Yoddhas.

UP Yoddhas – Sumit Sangwan

Sumit has been with UP Yoddhas since his debut in PKL season seven. He has consistently outperformed himself, and the start to this season is the same.

He is the only player to score High-5s in the first two games. Yoddhas will expect something similar from him in this match as well. It will be interesting to see how Vinay and Naveen raid against Sumit.

Possible starting 7

Haryana Steelers –  Naveen Kumar, Vinay, Shivam Patare, Rahul Sethpal, Rahul Ahri, Neeraj, Jaideep Dahiya.

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