Despite having a great raiding combination of Rishank Devadiga, Prashanth Rai and Shrikant Jadhav, the team from Uttar Pradesh is having a terrible season in this year of the league. The raiders are finding it difficult to put up a good show together which has been the biggest worry for Rishank. The team hasn’t done well and are currently placed at the second last position in Zone B. Players like Jeeva Kumar and Nitesh Kumar in the defence will want to contribute for the team by getting rid Ajay Thakur during the opponents’ raids.

Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, are almost out of the league and they will want to salvage some pride from this game against UP Yoddha here at Panchkula. Thakur has been their best raider but in the game against the Bengal Warriors yesterday, he only managed to score five points from his raids. The Thalaivas must be bit disappointed with the kind of form Surjeet Narwal is in as he hasn’t been up to the mark so far in the league and same is the case with Jasvir Singh. Athul MS has also a poor outing in the league stage games for the Thalaivas. Amit Hooda and Manjeet Chhillar are the two players to watch out for especially after the former’s show in the defence last evening against Bengal.
