UP Yoddha is set to take on Puneri Paltan in Vivo Pro Kabaddi on Thursday, 27 January 2022 at 19:30 PM IST
In-form sides UP Yoddha and Puneri Paltan will lock horns in this all-important clash. Though UP Yoddha lost their last game, they won 3 games and drew 1 of the 4 before that and are now 7th on the table.
They will have every chance to rise in to the top 3. Puneri Paltan seemed to have got their act together and have won their last 2 games.
Though top 6 still seems a distant dream for them, a good run could turn it into their favour. Expect an enthralling encounter.
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, and has also produced 8 successful tackles. He was rested in the last game and will come out all guns blazing. He had a superb outing against Pune the last time the two met and 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 33 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. Thephenomenon has accumulated 94 raid points thus far, and will need to produce a spectacularperformance tonight.
Mohit Goyat: Mohit Goyat has taken up the lead role in the absence of the star raiders in the side and the youngster has done a fine job. He has 67 raid points, including 9 in the last game, to go along with 12 tackle points in total. He was sensational in the last game and would be hoping tokeep up the form. He will be looking to keep the momentum going.
Aslam Inamdar: In the light of the failure of senior players performing, Inamdar has stepped up and is delivering the goods for Puneri Paltan. The all-rounder has scored 88 raid points, while he has accumulated 13 tackle points. He has been superb lately and will hold the key yet again in this game.
Sombir: Sombir may not be the most experienced player in the side but has pretty much been the leader in defence lately. He has been terrific for Puneri Paltan and has registered 24 tackle points in just 9 games, including 11 tackle points in the last 2. He will be key against a superb UP Yoddha raiding unit.
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.
Mohit Goyat: Mohit Goyat is a fine raider and despite UPs solid defence, he will be looking to bag a big haul as he did the last time these 2 met. He has also shown lately that he is capable of adding value in defence and will be looking to produce some points there as well.
