TEAMS PREVIEW

Sangam Challengers Preview

Sangam Challengers return to this season with unfinished business. They were one of the best teams in the league last year, winning 9 of their 13 matches and consistently looking like title contenders. However, their run eventually ended in disappointment, as they were beaten by Lucknow Lions in the final. That said, their overall campaign proved just how competitive this unit is.

What stood out about Sangam last season was their ability to peak at the right time. In their final three games, they averaged 34.3 points per match, showing an attacking rhythm that very few teams could contain. That momentum is something they will be eager to carry into the new season.

Shivam Singh Tomar continues to be the centerpiece of the squad and has been retained for Rs 2.60 lakh. He brings composure and explosiveness in raiding, often setting the tone early in matches. Pankaj, who was retained for Rs 2.55 lakh, complements him well and provides reliability.

The remaining squad offers solid depth, with players like Manish Kumar, Goutam Singh Tomar, and Nishant Baliyan contributing across different phases of the game. Defensively, Sangam relies on teamwork rather than individual brilliance. This served them well throughout last season. With experience, cohesion, and motivation on their side, the Challengers look ready to make another serious push.

Purvanchal Panthers Preview

Purvanchal Panthers are making their debut in the UP Kabaddi League. As a new franchise, they come in with no past results to define them, which makes them both unpredictable, intriguing, and a team that fans are looking out for.

The Panthers have assembled a squad with a clear focus on raiding strength. Lalit Chaudhary, signed for Rs 2.10 lakh, is expected to lead the charge and take responsibility. Suraj Tomar and Bhanu Pratap Tomar add further attacking options, while the likes of Nigam Chaudhary and Shakti Chaudhary will be key to holding the defensive line.

Purvanchal's biggest challenge will be settling into the league's intensity and building on-court chemistry quickly since they are a new team. Against an experienced Sangam side, they will need to be disciplined, have patience, and manage their game smartly to stay competitive. 

SCH vs PP
Winning Prediction

It is safe to say that Sangam Challengers enter this matchup with experience, stability, and a proven system that worked throughout last season. Purvanchal Panthers have talent and freshness on their side, but facing last year's finalists in their very first game is a demanding test. Expect Sangam to take advantage of the same and walk away with victory.
