#3. U.P. Yoddha
Hum hai UP Yoddhas! Yes, that's the anthem of UP Yoddha. The Yoddhas have really done a commendable job this season. Even though the auctions did not go well for the squad, the team managed to keep up an A-game in most of their matches.
UP's qualification was at stake as they qualified in their last match. That would be the most memorable match for them, as they managed to win the match from Bengal Warriors in order to clinch a position in the playoffs.
Their home-leg was pretty heart sinking as they did not win any match. Shrikant Jadhav was injured mid-season but his comeback proved to be the game changer for the team. Nitesh Kumar also put his best performance ahead and is the best defender in the sixth edition of the league so far with 83 points.
The 'crorepati' Rishank Devadiga was perfect on the mat as he was sublime with his skills. Players like Jeeva Kumar, Sachin Kumar, and Prashanth Kumar Rai also did an applaudable job.
The gates for playoffs were closed for Patna Pirates as the Yoddhas won their last match against the Warriors. All in all, we can safely say that UP deserved a place in the playoffs.
