The first match of the second day of the Pro Kabaddi season 4 Kolkata leg will see the Puneri Paltans take on the season 1 champions Jaipur Pink Panthers at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose indoor stadium. With 4 wins and 3 losses, the Paltans sit third with 29 points. The Pink Panthers, on the other hand, will look to overcome the Pune threat in Sunday's encounter to move closer to the playoffs.
The live streaming for the game between the Puneri Paltan vs Jaipur Pink Panthers will be available on starsports.com from 20:00 IST. The match will be telecasted live from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose indoor stadium and will be aired on Star Sports 2 (HD) in English and Star Sports 3 (HD) in Hindi.
The Puneri Paltans missed their ace-allrounder Manjeet Chhillar against Telugu Titans on Friday. Manjeet’s experience in the dying moments of the game plays a huge role in deciding the outcome of the match. If Manjeet is declared fit for today’s encounter, he will come up against the in-form Ajay Kumar and Rajesh Narwal.
Ajay Thakur’s dip in form is a big concern for Pune, with the star raider scoring just 3 points against the Titans. The former Bengaluru raider faces an uphill battle against the dangerous looking partnership of Amit Hooda and Ran Singh. Sonu Narwal should come good against the Panthers after a poor show on Friday. The all-round Deepak Niwas Hudda is surely the player to watch out for in today’s battle.
Ravindra Pahal’s supremacy on the right corner could be tested in today’s battle against Jasvir Singh, who mostly attacks the right side.
The defence of Jaipur surrendered to Jan Kun Lee’s athletic raids in yesterday’s encounter. Amit Hooda and Rajesh Narwal will be tested once again in today’s battle against Deepak Niwas Hudda and Ajay Thakur.
The Panthers skipper Jasvir Singh’s poor form is a sort of bother for the team, with the raider scoring just 33 points in 10 matches. Jasvir needs to uplift his level to face the best all-rounder of Pro kabaddi Manjeet Chhillar. Ajay Kumar’s stunning raids in do-or-die situations is a huge boost for the Panthers heading into today’s battle.
Rajesh Narwal’s masterclass in both attack and defence could decide the fate of the match in favour of Jaipur. The head to head is strongly in favour of Jaipur, with 4-2, in the last seven previous outings. It’s going to be the battle of defences as both teams have a star-studded defensive unit and let’s see who holds the nerve in the dying moments of the game.
