Team Analysis:

UP Yoddha

The team lost against Jaipur Pink Panthers in the last match played by them. Pardeep Narwal is not in form. Surender Gill is been good as a secondary raider. Talking about defense, it is not in form. Skipper Nitesh Kumar, Sumit are good but it is not enough to make them win. All these things should be improved.

Gujarat Giants

The team tied their game against Dabang Delhi K.C. Rakesj Narwal has the responsibility of team’s raiding department on his shoulder. Rest of the raiders are not able to support him. Captain Sunil Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal, Girish Ernak and Ravinder Pahal are playing good but in bits and pieces. This will have to change.

Key Battle

Sumit Vs Surender Gill

Sumit is UP’s top defender. He is been fabulous from his left corner position till now. He will get challenged by UP’s young raider Surender Gill. He picked up super 10 against Jaipur. It will not be easy for him to score points in front of Sumit.
