Odisha Juggernauts have a chance to top the Ultimate Kho Kho 2022 points table

Odisha Juggernauts can become the number one team in the points table if they win their match against the Rajasthan Warriors tomorrow (August 25). Looking at the way Odisha and Rajasthan have performed in this tournament so far, it should not be a surprise if the Juggernauts trounce the Warriors tomorrow evening.

The second match on tomorrow's schedule will see the Gujarat Giants take on the Telugu Yoddhas. If the Giants win the match, they will enter the Top 2 of the standings. However, if the Yoddhas emerge victorious, they will strengthen their position at the top of the table.
