Pro Kabaddi League Season 5: Five player battles to watch out for in the Jaipur leg

Manjeet Chhillar (Jaipur Pink Panthers) vs Nitin Tomar (U.P.Yoddha)

Tomar has lived up to the billing as the league's most expensive player

Despite Manjeet Chhillar's injury issues in season five, he has been Jaipur Pink Panthers' best defender. The side's attempts to upstage the teams ahead of them in the standings and qualify for the playoffs hinge on Chhillar's ability to get stops.

The experienced all-rounder has scored 34 tackle points in 10 matches and has been a reassuring presence in the team.

He will have to help control the threat posed by U.P. Yoddha raider, Nitin Tomar, if the Jaipur outfit need to have any chance of winning the match.

Tomar is the Yoddhas' franchise player and has been one of the most impressive raiders on display in the league, scoring 160 points in 19 matches.

The most expensive player in Pro Kabaddi League history at Rs. 93 lakhs, he is a flashy raider who uses his strength and power to score, upsetting the rhythm of opposition defenders.

Their battle would be key to determining which team comes out on top in this battle of teams fighting to get into the playoffs.
