Pro Kabaddi 2024, UP Yoddhas vs Bengaluru Bulls: Preview, probable starting 7s, prediction, and live-streaming details

UP Yoddhas are set to face off against Bengaluru Bulls in the 10th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 season at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on October 22.

UP Yoddhas made an impressive start to their PKL 2024 campaign after making key adjustments to their squad following a lackluster performance last season. In a low-scoring but intense game, they secured a 28-23 victory against Dabang Delhi KC. Bhavani Rajput was the standout performer, clinching seven raid points, overshadowing the efforts of the Yoddhas' more experienced raiders like Surender Gill and Bharat Hooda.

Defensively, Sahul Kumar was exceptional with a High 5, while Mohammadreza Kaboudrahangi made a remarkable impact as a substitute, collecting three tackle points without a single unsuccessful attempt. It was an all-round team effort, though they still have room for improvement as they advance in the tournament.

On the other hand, Bengaluru Bulls have had a poor start to their campaign. Led by Pardeep Narwal, they suffered a 37-29 defeat at the hands of Telugu Titans in their opening match. Pardeep managed only three raid points in that game. Their second match, against Gujarat Giants, offered glimpses of the Pardeep we know, with him scoring nine raid points, but it wasn’t enough as they lost 36-32.

Despite leading by three points at halftime, the Bulls faltered in the second half, losing their advantage due to defensive lapses and Pardeep spending too much time off the mat. Bengaluru Bulls are now eager to bounce back after two consecutive losses.
