UP Yoddha will lock horns against Haryana Steelers in Vivo Pro Kabaddi on Sunday, 23 January 2022 at 19:30 PM IST
Traditional rivals UP Yoddhas and Haryana Steelers will be up against each other in a crucial game here on Sunday evening.
UP has picked up sensational form and have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 games. On the other hand, Haryana Steelers have picked up some momentum as well, winning their last couple of games. This is expected to go down to the wire.
Surender Gill:Surender Gill put in some fine performances last season, which entrusted UP Yoddha to retain him. The youngster Gill has been superb this season and has taken the mantle in light of Narwals struggles. The 23-year-old has taken his tally this season past the hundred mark, claiming 103 raid points, including 9 in the last game, and has also produced 8 successful tackles. He will be key in this game.
Nitesh Kumar:Nitesh Kumar is as solid a defender as one can have in the side and has started to put on strong performances. The right corner defender has now scored 30 tackle points and is among the top-performing defender thus far.
Pardeep Narwal:The talisman Narwal seems to be getting fitter and in-form and has put in some decent performances in the last couple of games, though he is still far from his best. The phenomenon has accumulated 88 raid points thus far, including 9 raid points in the last game, and will need to produce a spectacular performance tonight.
Jaideep Kuldeep:Jaideep Kuldeep has looked a class apart with his defense and the left-corner defender has registered 40 tackle points in just 11 games, which puts him at 2nd on the list of topscoring defenders. He has formed a formidable unit with Nada and the duo will trouble mostraiding units.
Vikash Khandola: Vikash Khandola is a fine raider and he has done really well thus far. He has had an odd off game in between but has done well lately to take his tally past the magical three figure number to 101 raid points. He will look to bring his best on the mat tonight and will hold the key in this game.
Surender Nada:>Surender Nada missed the last season due to an injury he picked up before the start of the tournament, and showcased what the Steelers were missing in that time. Nada is one of the most experienced defenders in the league and has accrued 33 tackle points and 2 bonus points. Nada had a solid last game.
Surender Gill:Gill has been in fine form and has not just produced raid points in the last couple of games but has also affected successful tackles. He could have a big game tonight as hed look to carry on his fine run.
Vikash Khandola:Vikash Khandola is a fine raider and has picked up some fine recent form. He was superb in the last game between the two sides and will be looking to bag a big haul yet again.
