Raiders: Azad Singh, Masud Karim, Rishank Devadiga, Monu Goyat, Shrikant Jadhav, Ankush, Gulveer Singh, Surender Singh

Defenders: Amit Narwal, Nitesh Kumar, Sachin Kumar, Aashish Nagar

All-rounders: Arkam Shaikh, Mohsen Maghsoudlou, Narender, Gurdeep

UP Yoddha has a highly dangerous raiding unit with the likes of Rishank Devadiga, Shrikant Jadhav and Monu Goyat. They are all proven performers and could wreak havoc as a combination. To have a player like Mohsen Maghsoudlou as your fourth or fifth raider, just shows how good a raising department they have.

They have also kept hold of Nitesh Kumar, who led the defense last season. However, he doesn't have any other proven defenders, and he will once again, be under pressure to deliver. He will play alongside his brother, Gurdeep in the upcoming season.

While the raiding trio and Nitesh Kumar will definitely perform well, the rest of their squad doesn't ooze a whole lot of confidence. Thus, their chances of qualification will once again, depend on some outrageously good performances.
