UP Yoddhas will be led by their main man Bharat Hooda who has been at the top of his game and has racked up 99 points in total. He will be supported by Bhavani Rajput who has scored the highest number of raid points for Yoddhas so far (93). Gagan Gowda has emerged as one of the rising stars this season and has turned out to be a magical weapon for the Yoddhas upfront.
