Gujarat Giants vs Jaipur Pink Panthers Probable Playing 7s

Gujarat Giants

Once again, Gujarat Giants have entrusted their defenders to take them forward. While they have signed Ravinder Pahal alongside Girish Maruti Ernak in the defense, they already have Parvesh Bhainswal to accompany the two corners.

Iranian all-rounder Hadi Oshtorak could be the key for the Giants this season. Mahendra Rajput and Rakesh Narwal are expected to lead the charge in the raiding department.

Probable Playing 7: Mahendra Rajput, Rakesh Narwal, Hadi Oshtorak, Parvesh Bhainswal, Ravinder Pahal, Girish Maruti Ernak, Sunil Kumar

Jaipur Pink Panthers

The Pink Panthers retained their superstar skipper Deepak Niwas Hooda ahead of the auction. They have added Arjun Deshwal, Iranian Amirhossein Mohammad Maleki and Sushil Gulia to the raiding department.

Meanwhile, experienced Dharmaraj Cheralathan, Sandeep Dhull and Amit Hooda are likely to form the defense for the champions of the inaugural edition.

Today’s PKL Match Prediction

With the presence of Parvesh Bhainswal and Ravinder Pahal, the Gujarat Giants arguably have the strongest defense in the league. However, they are looking a bit weaker on the attacking front.

At the same time, Jaipur Pink Panthers are looking balanced in both departments. They have a sturdy defense with Sandeep Dhull and Amit Hooda, while they have the best all-rounder Deepak Niwas Hooda on their side.

Prediction: Jaipur Pink Panthers are expected to win this game.
