Jaipur Pink Panthers and the UP Yoddha meet in Match 3 of Vivo Pro Kabaddi 2022 at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru. This will be the third of three matches on Friday, October 7, with Dabang Delhi KC, U Mumba, Bengaluru Bulls, and the Telugu Titans the other four teams in action earlier in the day.
Jaipur didn't have a memorable PKL 8, despite a tremendous individual showing from young Arjun Deshwal. They have added some firepower to their squad in the form of V Ajith Kumar in the raiding department and Sunil Kumar in defense.
The Yoddhas, meanwhile, made the semi-finals last season, losing to the Patna Pirates. They've entered the new season with a well-rounded squad spearheaded by a fiery raiding department.

JAI vs UP Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Match 3
Raider - Arjun Deshwal (375 raid points in 44 matches)
Arjun Deshwal is one of the most exciting raiders on the Kabaddi circuit right now. The Jaipur Pink Panthers' talisman had an outstanding PKL 8, scoring 267 raid points, second only to Pawan Sehrawat. With V Ajith Kumar and Rahul Chaudhari joining in to reduce the pressure on him, expect Arjun to take his game to even higher levels.
Defender - Sumit (139 tackle points in 43 matches)
A very underrated left corner defender, Sumit should continue quietly doing the trick for UP Yoddha. Sumit has scored more than 60 tackle points in both his seasons playing for the Yoddhas.
All-Rounder - Lucky Sharma
With none of the all-rounders likely to start this match, Lucky Sharma at 10.5 credits is an option you can go with. Going with him reduces the investment on all-rounders and allows you to spend the funds elsewhere. Reza Mirbagheri would have been a good option if he was available for selection.
JAI vs UP Match Captain/Vice-Captain Choices
Arjun Deshwal
The extremely consistent Arjun Deshwal is one of the best captaincy candidates for this match. He picked up a whopping 16 Super 10s last season and will look to pick up where he left off.
Pardeep Narwal
After a slightly disappointing season by his standards, Pardeep Narwal will look to make a statement in UP Yoddha's first PKL 9 match. While he will have to share raids with Surender Gill and Nitin Tomar, expect Pardeep to do a large share of the raiding.
