Teams to be updated after the toss.

Match details:

Tournament: VIVO Pro Kabaddi League 2021-22
Venue: Sheraton Grand, Bengaluru
Date: Sunday, 30th January 2022
Time: 7:30 PM IST

Preview:

Patna was back in action recently and put on a massive show on the mat with rest certainly helping them. Theyd be eager to bring that momentum into the game and rise to the top of the table. They have some match-winners in their ranks and will be a dangerous unit. Jaipur on the other hand, seem to have lost the momentum they had built and have just 1 win in the last 5 games. They arent too far behind the 6th placed team but will need to pull off a string of wins. 

Probable starting lineups:

Jaipur Pink Panthers

Deepak Niwas Hooda, Amit Kumar, Vishal, Sandeep Kumar Dhull, Naveen, Arjun Deshwal, Sahul Kumar

Patna Pirates

Prashanth Kumar Rai, Monu Goyat, Neeraj Kumar, Sajin C, Sachin Tanwar, Sunil, Mohammedreza Chiyaneh

Fantasy breakdown:

Jaipur Pink Panthers

Deepak Niwas Hooda: Deepak Niwas Hooda is the star player for the Jaipur Pink Panthers. The all-rounder adds tremendous value to both departments. He didnt have the best of starts to the seasons but has turned it around in the last few games and has even won his side a couple of games. He has managed 70 raid points thus far and will be eager to power his side again tonight after missing the last couple of games.

Sahul Kumar: Sahul Kumar has made a thunderous entry into this Jaipur Pink Panthers side. The right corner defender has been the top defender for the side and has claimed 32 tackle points in just 12 games, including 15 in the last 5 games. He will have a big role yet again.

Arjun Deshwal: Arjun Deshwal is the lead raider for the Panthers and the youngster has looked sharp on most occasions. The raider has added 152 raid points this season, including 10 in the last game, which sees him climb up to 3rd on the list of top-scoring raiders.

Patna Pirates 

Monu Goyat: Goyat is a quality raider and was back in action in the last game after missing 2 games and resting well. He looked in fine form, scoring 7 raid points and 2 tackle points to take his tally to 60 raid points and 14 tackle points. He will be a big player in this game. 

M Chiyaneh: Chiyaneh is just the kind of player you need in the side. The Iranian all-rounder doesnt shy away from putting in a tackle and is a proper team player. He has 39 tackle points to his name, including 6 in the last game, and is leading the charts for his side. 

Neeraj Kumar: Neeraj Kumar seems to have turned back the pages as he has picked up the form from the last season, where he was at his peak. The right-cover defender has looked really sharp and hasnt given much chance to the raider. His tally reads 36, thanks to some fine recent performances which includes 6 tackle points in the last game.

Must-haves:

Monu Goyat

Arjun Deshwal

Neeraj Kumar

Worth a shot:

M Chiyaneh

Sunil

Prashant Kumar Rai

Captaincy options:

Monu Goyat: Monu Goyat is a phenomenal player and the experienced lad is doing a great job on the mat, both in raiding and in defence. His potential of adding tackle points make him the preferred captaincy choice. 

Arjun Deshwal: Arjun Deshwal is the kind of raider who has the ability to bag points in a heap. He has been in solid recent form and will be a great captaincy option for his game.
