PKL: Dominant Jaipur Pink Panthers seal semis berth after 67-30 win over UP Yoddhas

Pro Kabaddi: In their next PKL match, Jaipur Pink Panthers face bottom-placed Telugu Titans on Feb 16th.

There’s no stopping last year’s PKL winners Jaipur Pink Panthers, as with yet another win, they have become the first team in Pro Kabaddi 2023-24 to make it to the semis. On Monday, the team registered a one-sided 67-30 victory over UP Yoddhas in Kolkata, as star raider Arjun Deshwal top-scored with 20 raid points.

On the other hand, Sunil Kumar, and Ankush’s high 5s also showed that Jaipur had an all-round performance against the Yoddhas. Meanwhile, this was their 14th win in the PKL 2023 and have 82 points in all, while Puneri Paltan closely follow them at 81 points.

As far as the individual brilliance is concerned, Deshwal has the most raid points in Pro Kabaddi this season — he has amassed 233 points in 20 matches so far. Ankush has been their best defender so far, with 62 tackle points in 20 matches.

With two more league matches left to play for Jaipur, they would hope to make the best of the opportunity in front of them, and harbour hopes of making the final once again.
