Yoddhas Seeking Redemption:
The UP Yoddhas have had a mixed bag of results so far, currently sitting at 10th position in the points table with two wins and four losses. Their inconsistency has been frustrating for fans, but the return home could be the spark they need to ignite their campaign. Captain Pardeep Narwal has looked off-color, and the onus will be on him to inspire his team with his aggressive raiding. Surender Gill and Sumit have been bright spots, but they need more support from their teammates, especially in defense.
Bulls Looking to Maintain Momentum:
The Bengaluru Bulls, on the other hand, are a force to be reckoned with. Despite losing their opening game, they’ve bounced back impressively, winning their subsequent three encounters. Captain Vikash Kandola, known for his acrobatic raids, has been in top form, ably supported by Bharat Hooda’s sharp reflexes. Their defense, spearheaded by Surjeet Singh and Aman, is equally formidable.
