U Mumba

Abhishek Singh and Rohit Baliyan have also shown their skills. Vinod Kumar has lived up to his all-rounder tag. Where Fazel has been earned top defender’s position Surinder Singh and Cheralathan’s impatience has been a worry for the coach.

UP Yoddha

UP Yoddha will come on the mat after their home leg that proved to be a disappointing one for them. Raiding trio of Rishank Devadiga, Prashanth Kumar Rai and Shrikant Jadhav will be looking to give their best performance for the team.
