PKL 2019: Analyzing the weakness of each team

U Mumba - Raiding attack

U Mumba have united the two stalwarts of kabaddi by purchasing Sandeep Narwal in this year's auction. They had retained Fazel Atrachali before the auction hence, they have a very solid defensive unit now. However, the same cannot be said of their raiding attack.

The season two winners have Rohit Baliyan, Dong Geon Lee and Athul MS in their squad. None of them has led a raiding attack in the past which arises the question that who will lead the U Mumba raiding department in PKL 2019.

U.P. Yoddha - Inexperienced defence

U.P. Yoddha played a masterstroke by assembling the quartet of Monu Goyat, Rishank Devadiga, Mohsen Maghsoudlou and Shrikant Jadhav in the raiding department. The smart budgeting strategy helped them form a great raiding attack but, their defence does not have the same strength.

Barring skipper Nitesh Kumar, none of the defenders of the Lucknow-based franchise have played in high-pressure situations. Hence, this problem may hurt U.P. Yoddha's chances of winning PKL 7.
