The big battle –

Deepak Niwas Hooda vs. Ravinder Pahal

Deepak Niwas Hooda has been at his staggering best in his past few outings for Jaipur Pink Panthers. After scoring just 42 raid points in his first seven appearances this season, Hooda has scored 53 raid points in his past five outings at an average of 10.60. Hooda has hit form just in time for Jaipur Pink Panthers as they aim to push for a Super Playoff spot in their final league stage fixtures.

Coming off a High 5 in his last outing against Haryana Steelers, Right Corner Ravinder Pahal will have to be at his very best yet again when he comes up against Hooda. Pahal has enjoyed a good campaign with Dabang Delhi K.C., leading them in tackle points with 37 and ranking second in assists with 14. The duel between these two veterans will be one of the key battles of this contest.

Key Khiladi -

Naveen Kumar – Dabang Delhi K.C.

Rookie Naveen Kumar has been stellar in his maiden VIVO Pro Kabaddi campaign and has already amassed over a 100 raid points in 13 matches. Kumar scored a Super 10 in his last appearance against Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi K.C. will be hopeful of a similar performance from their young star to close the gap on third-placed Puneri Paltan.

Mohit Chhillar – Jaipur Pink Panthers

Veteran Mohit Chhillar has been a rock at the Right Corner position for Jaipur Pink Panthers in Season 6 and has an excellent record in assists as well as tackle points with 22 and 29 to his name respectively. Chhillar was limited to a single point in his previous outing against Dabang Delhi K.C. and, if Jaipur Pink Panthers are to win this contest, Chhillar’s performance will be extremely important for his side.
