Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Dabang Delhi K.C.

Match 1 (Zone A): Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Dabang Delhi K.C.

After waiting eagerly for VIVO Pro Kabaddi to kick off its fifth season, fans were treated to some exciting derby clashes on Day 1 of the league. Both matches had the fans at the edge of their seats with end-to-end action and now, this kabaddi extravaganza moves on to Day 2. Let’s take a look at the clashes of the day.

Head-to-head: Jaipur Pink Panthers 6–1 Dabang Delhi

Last season, Jaipur Pink Panthers reached the final but narrowly missed out on the title against an inspired Patna Pirates. However, it’s a new season and they will have to start from scratch just like most teams. Their first challenge? Dabang Delhi K.C. – who will be eager to prove a point this time around.

With both sides having a strong defence, it will be interesting to see who blinks first in what promises to be a close game. “One Man Army” Manjeet Chhillar will be a key player as he heads the defence for the Panthers. He will look to run a water-tight operation in their opening game. Jasvir Singh and do-or-die specialist Selvamani K will also look to tighten the screws and steal points against the Delhi tacklers. Youngsters Ajit Singh, Santhapanaselvam and Nitin Rawal will also be keen to get a look-in early on in the league.

Dabang Delhi K.C., meanwhile, will look up to captain Meraj Sheykh and Nilesh Shinde to lead the charge in the defence department. Young attacking raiders such as Ravi Dalal and Rohit Baliyan are also good enough to trouble any side and fans will be hoping they come good. The likes of Bajirao Hodage and Viraj Vishnu Landge will also be eager to make their mark on the match.
