TEAMS PREVIEW

U.P. Yoddha Preview

UP Yoddhas are off to a perfect start to their season winning their opening fixture against Dabang Delhi KC 28-25. A low scoring encounter dominated by the defensive unit of the Yoddhas. Led by Bhavani Rajput in the raiding department who scored 7 raid points (6 touch and one bonus) and Surender Gill on his return couldn’t deliver as expected, he finished with two raid touches and two bonus points. But the main man of the game was Sahul Kumar who in his first outing in the UP Yoddha colors scored a high five pinning down Naveen Kumar effectively. 

Mohammadreza Kaboudrahangi changed the complexion of the game with his super tackle and finished with 3 tackle points. Ashu Singh and Sumit also chipped in with two tackle points each. Interestingly the Yoddhas didn't play Bharat Hooda who is one of the lead raiders in the league. 

Surender Gill is averaging almost 10 points per game against the Bulls since season 9 and he is one of the top raiders to watch out for in this fixture. While Sumit who has good numbers against the Bulls will be up against his former team mate Pardeep Narwal. 

In terms of statistics, the Yoddhas are averaging 12 raid points and 13 tackle points per game. The Yoddhas on average scored 37 points per game in the last four matches against the Bulls. This season, Bhavani Rajput is averaging 7 raid points per game, and Sahul Kumar is averaging 5 tackle points per game.

Bengaluru Bulls Preview

Bengaluru Bulls suffered a shocking loss against the home team Telugu Titans in the season opener 37-29 and failed to even clinch a point from this contest. The leading raider in terms of raid points in PKL history, Pardeep Narwal had a quite outing where he finished the game with just 3 raid points. Ajinkya Pawar who is often known to be the swiftest raiders garnered a solitary raid point. Jatin Phogat coming off the bench with three raid points was highly effective towards the end of the game. Jai Bhagwan also didn't contribute much as he managed to sneak in three bonus raid points. 

The Bulls defensive line was impressive, especially Surinder Singh with his high 5 in the very first match gives the Bulls some strength for the upcoming fixture against the Yoddhas in the cover position. Nitin Rawal as the left corner fared well with three tackle points, while Sourabh Nandal also contributed three tackle points. The Bulls overall managed to get 14 tackle points and 13 raid points against the Titans. 

They have a tough challenge ahead of them against a mighty impressive UP Yoddha's defensive setup that can trouble the best of raiding departments and with the Yoddhas being Pareddp's former team this game is personal to some extent for the Dubki King and he will be ready for the challenge. 

Bengaluru Bulls Probable Starting 7 - Pardeep Narwal, Ajinkya Pawar, Jai Bhagwan, Sourabh Nandal, Surinder Singh, Parteek, Nitin Rawal
