Players to watch out for

Puneri Paltan

Aditya Shinde was the surprise package on the opening night of season 12. While many expected Sachin Tanwar to be in the starting 7, coach Ajay Thakur fielded Aditya, who has been with Paltan’s for the last two years. His aggressive playing style earned him nine touch points, and fans are eagerly waiting to see him play.

Gujarat Giants

No one has shown the kind of dominance that Mohammadreza Shadloui has shown in his four-year career. Maybe for the first time, he faced severe criticism.

Fans all over social media were critical of Shadloui’s strategy during the tie-breaker, which cost them the game. It will be interesting to see how he responds in this game.
