#2 Pardeep Narwal (Patna Pirates) vs Jeeva Kumar (U.P. Yoddha)
The defending champions will be reliant on their captain and leading raider, Pardeep Narwal, who is having an incredible individual season in the Pro Kabaddi League.

With 149 points from only 11 matches, Pardeep has excelled in every match, playing with the poise and perfection that most others can only dream of.
U.P. Yoddha will have their task cut out as they attempt to reduce his efficiency and will look to defender Jeeva Kumar, to marshal their defence and keep Narwal in check.
Kumar, who plays as both right and left cover, has been key for the Yoddha as they maintain a steady position in the table, positioning themselves for a shot at rising up the standings.
The team from Uttar Pradesh have conceded more points than they have scored and would like to address that concern among their fans by putting in a solid defensive performance.
