On Saturday, vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9 offers fans another triple header at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad. In the first match of the night, U.P. Yoddhas face Jaipur Pink Panthers, while Telugu Titans square off against U Mumba in the second and Dabang Delhi K.C. meet Patna Pirates in the final game.

Here are our previews for Day 37.

Match 87: U.P. Yoddhas vs Jaipur Pink Panthers

U.P. Yoddhas are unbeaten in their last five games and look in good form. They have won seven, lost five and tied twice this season. In attack, Surender Gill (129 raid points) and Pardeep Narwal (111 raid points) have been their best attackers, while Rohit Tomar with 35 raid points has also stepped up of late. Defensively, Ashu Singh (37 tackle points) and Sumit (36 tackle points) have been their mainstays, while Nitesh Kumar has also chipped in with 23 tackle points.

Jaipur Pink Panthers, meanwhile, are comfortable in the top half of the table after nine wins and five losses so far. Arjun Deshwal has been the team’s go-to man as he has amassed 161 raid points. Rahul Chaudhari (49 raid points), V Ajith Kumar (32 raid points) and Bhavani Rajput (30 raid points) have supported Deshwal in offence. On the defensive front, Ankush and Sunil Kumar have shone with 51 and 43 tackle points respectively, while Sahul Kumar has managed  24 tackle points. 

U.P. Yoddhas vs Jaipur Pink Panthers head-to-head

U.P. Yoddhas and Jaipur Pink Panthers have squared off in eight games with the former winning five and the latter winning thrice.

Match 88: Telugu Titans vs U Mumba

After a loss in their opening match of the Hyderabad leg, Telugu Titans now find themselves with just one win and 14 defeats this season. While Siddharth Desai has done his job as one of the team’s main raiders with more than 100 raid points this season, the likes of Monu Goyat and Vinay need to support him in attack. Abhishek Singh has looked good in the last few games after missing a lot of the early season action and needless to say, he can be a big attacking asset for the Titans. The Titans’ defensive trio of Vishal Bhardwaj, Surjeet Singh and Parvesh Bhainswal also need to raise their game and act in unison in the upcoming matches. 

U Mumba, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back after slipping up in their last outing. They have managed eight wins and suffered six losses in the ongoing campaign. Their main man in offence has been Guman Singh, who has managed 91 raid points this season, while the  likes of Ashish (65 raid points) and Jai Bhagwan (46 raid points) have also contributed and will look to do more. As far as their defence goes, Rinku has been their top performer with 38 tackle points while Surinder Singh (31 tackle points) and Mohit (26 tackle points) have also made their presence felt.

Telugu Titans vs U Mumba head-to-head

Telugu Titans have faced U Mumba on 15 occasions with the Titans winning four games and the Season 2 champions winning nine times. Two matches between the teams ended in ties.

Match 89: Dabang Delhi K.C. vs Patna Pirates

Dabang Delhi K.C. need to start winning quickly if they still are to qualify for the playoffs and successfully defend their vivo PKL title. They have won six games and lost eight times. To get a win on Saturday, their talisman Naveen Kumar (149 raid points) needs to hit top gear, while Ashu Malik (93 raid points) and Manjeet (54 raid points) also need to stand up and be counted. In defence, Vishal with 31 tackle points has been their best performer alongside Krishan (30 tackle points), Ravi Kumar (20 tackle points) and Vijay Kumar (17 tackle points).

As far as Patna Pirates are concerned, they will want to get a win after a tie in their previous outing. The three-time champions have managed six wins, five losses and three ties this season. Their raiding duo of Sachin (117 raid points) and Rohit Gulia (85 raid points) have done most of the work in attack. Defensively speaking, Sunil (36 tackle points), Mohammadreza Chiyaneh (33 tackle points) and Neeraj Kumar (23 tackle points) have been the team’s best performers.

Dabang Delhi K.C. vs Patna Pirates head-to-head

Patna Pirates have faced Dabang Delhi K.C. 16 times. The three-time champions have won eight times while the defending champions have seven victories. One match ended in a tie.
