Jaipur Pink Panthers will take on U.P. Yoddha in the third game of the Pro Kabaddi League on Friday at the Shri Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, Bengaluru. This will be the third game on the opening day of the tournament.
Jaipur Pink Panthers had a disappointing run in the previous season as they could only manage 10 wins in the 22 matches they played to finish in eighth place in the standings. Thus, they could not even qualify for the playoff stages.
The Panthers have added players like experienced Rahul Chaudhari, raider V Ajith Kumar, and defender Sunil Kumar.
On the other hand, U.P Yoddha had finished in third place in the points table in the previous season after securing 68 points. However, they had lost to Patna Pirates in the first semifinal by 38-27.
The Live Streaming will be available on Disney Hotstar whereas fans can catch the telecast live on the Star Sports network.
The Iranian players will miss the start of the league due to visa issues.
Match Prediction: U.P. Yoddha will enter the contest as favorites against Jaipur Pink Panthers.
