Chennai Quick Guns can go top with a win.

Defending champions Odisha Juggernauts will look to finish the league stage of the ongoing Ultimate Kho Kho 2023 with a win to stay on top of the points table when they take on Mumbai Khiladis on Tuesday, while Chennai Quick Guns will face Gujarat Giants at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack.

Promoted by Amit Burman in collaboration with the Kho Kho Federation of India, Ultimate Kho Kho became a huge hit in the first season, emerging as India’s third-largest non-cricket league in terms of television viewership. It also became the first Indian sports league to secure Series A funding, courtesy of the UK-based BNP Group.

Odisha Juggernauts have qualified for the semi-finals of Season 2 and are currently sitting in the top position of the points table with a total of 20 points.

“Defeating Telugu Yoddhas in the previous match has given us a lot of confidence and we will try to carry it forward in our upcoming match as well. We are doing well in all departments and have already qualified for the semis. Our target is to play well in the rest of the matches in the league,” commented Odisha Juggernauts’ captain Dipesh More.

On the other hand, Chennai Quick Guns will face Gujarat Giants in their last match before the semi-finals. Chennai’s captain Suraj Lande stated that the team is in fine form and everyone is contributing to the victories.
