The match will invoke a lot of action, fan support and thrill as Pardeep Narwal who in the previous game became the only player in the Pro Kabaddi League to surpass a milestone of 1400 Raid points. What will also be interesting is to watch Pardeep in action against his former team with whom he won three Pro Kabaddi League Championship Titles. Surender Gill who is placed sixth in the players table of Successful Raids, Raid Points and Total Points will be giving an able support to Pardeep Narwal while also look forward towards accomplishing his 4th Super 10 of the ongoing season.
The rock solid defense formation of UP Yoddhas who accumulated the highest 19 tackle points in a match this season will look forward to continue with their dominance. Ashu Singh who safeguards the right corner and Sumit who covers left corner were intact in their last game are now placed number 1 and 2 at Players Super Tackle tables respectively. The defense unit led by captain Nitesh with an able support of Ashu Singh, Sumit and Shubham Kumar can turn out to be a major threat for Patna Pirates.
