Jaipur Pink Panthers - Amit Hooda

Amit Hooda will return to Jaipur Pink Panthers in season 7

An ankle hold specialist who has made a massive impression from the right corner, Amit Hooda will make his return to his season four franchise, the Jaipur Pink Panthers this year after representing the Tamil Thalaivas in the previous season.

In his season for the Pink Panthers, Hooda picked 51 tackle points in 16 games, which included three High 5s and with Hooda consistently making a mark with some fearless defending, Jaipur will need his expertise to strike it big along with Sandeep Dhull and Sunil Sidhgavali.
