Vikash Khandola vs Deepak Hooda will headline the match up between Jaipur and Haryana. Both Vikash Khandola of Haryana Steelers and Deepak Hooda of Jaipur Pink Panthers had poor opening match performances. Vikash, one of the stars of Season 7, just managed six points in his first outing while Deepak scored four.
Both the raiding departments look weak so don’t be surprised if the third match of the day turns out to be a tactical affair with multiple Do-or-die raids. Sandeep Dhull in the left corner for Jaipur is a talented defender and might be the difference-maker in the encounter.
