Jaipur Pink Panthers team news
The inaugural season champions Jaipur Pink Panthers haven't enjoyed a favourable season so far and will look to capitalise on their home advantage to fight for a spot in the playoffs. They narrowly lost to Bengal Warriors in their previous game and would be looking to get to winning ways.
The Deepak Hooda-led side is placed seventh on the points table and they will look to get into the top six as they head into their home leg. The Panthers have picked up a total of 47 points, having won only seven out of their eighteen matches this season. They have lost nine matches while securing a draw in one match.
In their last eight outings, the Panthers have lost seven matches, while securing a tie in one and they will be desperate for a turnaround. Their skipper has done his bit this season, leading from the front.
Deepak has secured 123 raid points and the team will hope for a match-winning show from him. In the defence front for the Panthers, Sandeep Kumar Dhull has been the player to watch out for as he has garnered a total of 61 tackle points. But the Srinivas Reddy-coached team will need other members of his team to step up if they wish to stop their losing streak.
The Panthers biggest win this season came against U Mumba and they will need another performance like that to bring their campaign back to life.
