The big battle –

Deepak Niwas Hooda vs. Parvesh Bhainswal

Following another 12-point night against Haryana Steelers, Deepak Niwas Hooda took his tally to 39 raid points in Jaipur Pink Panthers’ home leg, comfortably making him the highest scoring player in the leg. Despite averaging 9.05 raid points this season, Hooda has found it tough to get going against Gujarat Fortunegiants in Season 6, scoring only 11 raid points in his two outings against the visitors. If Jaipur Panthers are to avoid a clean sweep against Gujarat Fortunegiants in Season 6, it is essential for Hooda to find the form that he has played at throughout the season.

Hooda’s performances against Gujarat Fortunegiants can be largely attributed to the devastating form of Cover Defender Parvesh Bhainswal, who added four more tackle points to his season tally on Sunday against the same opponents. With a game in hand over Season 6 tackle-points-leader Fazel Atrachali, Bhainswal, could take the lead in the race for Best Defender when his team takes on Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Key Khiladi -

Sandeep Dhull – Jaipur Pink Panthers

The leader in tackle points as well as assists for Jaipur Pink Panthers this campaign, Left Corner Sandeep Dhull’s form has provided his side’s defensive setup with some much-needed firepower. He scored three tackle points on Sunday against the same opponents and Jaipur Pink Panthers will be hopeful of another big night from their ace defender.

Sachin – Gujarat Fortunegiants

Having already amassed over 150 raid points this campaign, Gujarat Fortunegiants raider Sachin has shown maturity beyond his years in leading the team’s offence for the second year running. The raider has a chance to propel himself into the Top 5 raiders of this campaign if he scores well in the final two league stages fixtures as well as the Playoffs matches; a challenge he is certainly capable of acing.
