On Wednesday, January 3rd, the 55th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2023 will take place between UP Yoddhas and Puneri Paltan at Noida Indoor Stadium in Noida.
UP Yoddhas have been facing a tough phase in their recent matches, losing four out of the last five games. This poor run has placed them in the bottom three spots on the points table. They suffered a 41-48 defeat against Patna Pirates in the previous game, pushing them down to the seventh position.
Pardeep Narwal delivered his season-best performance, securing an impressive 21 raid points. Unfortunately, the rest of the team struggled to offer adequate support. Their star raider Surender Gill was given a rest due to an injury but is likely to make a comeback in the next match after recovering.
Puneri Paltan, meanwhile, produced a kabaddi masterclass on the first day of the New Year, hammering Telugu Titans (54-18) by a whopping 36-point margin. Mohit Goyat was the most decorated player with nine touchpoints and four tackle points. He was backed by Abinesh Nadarajan and Gaurav Khatri, both securing high 5s, while Mohammadreza Chiyaneh executed four successful tackles.
