Match No. 35 of the Pro Kabaddi League will feature the Bengaluru Bulls taking the battle across to the Jaipur Pink Panthers as a part of the Inter Zone Challenge Week at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium in Lucknow.
Both the teams are coming into this encounter on the back of a loss against the Gujarat Fortunegiants in Ahmedabad and will hence be on the hunt for a much-needed win.
Bengaluru Bulls predicted lineup
Rohit Kumar (c) [Raider]
He leads the team by example and has been the main source of points for the team given his rampant raiding on the mat.
Ajay [Raider]
Ajay has the ability to thrive in pressure situations especially in the do-or-die raids which make him an ideal candidate to assist the attack.
Mahender Singh [Left Cover Defender]
He has been quite impressive with his defensive prowess particularly the timing of executing key tackles.
Preetam Chhillar [All-rounder]
A man with considerable playing experience in the PKL, Preetam's ability to step up in the defence and attack both make him an ideal inclusion in the starting seven.
Ashish Kumar [All-rounder]
Ashish was retained by the Bulls ahead of the auctions in May and his performances in the defence and attack alike are a testament to this retention.
Ravinder Pahal [Right Corner Defender]
The experienced campaigner is in charge of manning the defence of the side and is lethal with his ankle and back holds on rival raiders.
Kuldeep Singh [Left Corner Defender]
He notched up a High-5 with his tackles in the last match against Gujarat and thus has the might to keep the most threatening raiders at bay.
Jaipur Pink Panthers predicted line-up
Manjeet Chhillar [All-rounder]
The skipper of the side, Manjeet is touted as the best all-rounder in kabaddi and given his statistics, he is a major force to reckon with.
Nitin Rawal [Left Corner Defender]
The young gun has been quite impressive in the last couple of matches and is lethal in the corner position.
Jasvir Singh [Raider]
Jasvir is the man who will spearhead the attack for the Panthers with his combination of hasty and relaxed raids which often leaves the defence confused.
Tushar Patil [Raider]
The young gun has played under Manjeet at Puneri Paltan and thus is well aware of what the captain wants of him when on a raid.
Santhapanaselvam [All-rounder]
The new recruits' ability to perform in the defence and the attack adds to the team's depth and strength on the mat.
Somvir Shekhar [Right Cover Defender]
Somvir has also played under the aegis of Manjeet and thus the coordination will come to the fore when the two combine to execute tackles.
Pawan Kumar [Raider]
The former U Mumba recruit has been quite impressive in the capacity of a true frontline raider and has been pretty consistent with his points as well.
