Head to Head

Jaipur Pink Panthers and Patna Pirates have met each other 16 times with Patna holding a slender lead of 9-7. In PKL season 8, Jaipur Pink Panthers won both their encounters comprehensively.

Player to watch

KS Ashish the defender will be the player to watch out for from Jaipur Pink Panthers who in his first point of the PKL tackled Pardeep Narwal. Overall he had a good match a was just a point shy away from high 5 claiming 4 points.

Sachin Tanwar looked in great form and continued from where he left last season scoring points in both the normal and the do-or-die raids against Puneri Paltan.

Key to Success

The raiding of Jaipur needs to click. With Arjun Deshwal, and Ajith in the mix the raiding did not look great in the last game. Arjun was not at his best being a primary raider. Being Jaipur’s best raider he did not take up the responsibility of going for the final raid instead sent Ajith Kumar. Arjun needs to shoulder more responsibilities.

Patna Pirates needs its raiding department to prosper apart from Sachin Tanwar. Rohit Gulia needs to support Sachin as the secondary raider which he failed in the first encounter. The defence has looked quite strong.

Did you know

Sachin Kumar has crossed the 600 raid points mark in the first match against the Puneri Paltan and has been playing since season 5 in the PKL.
