17 Oct
Summary
- Jaipur Pink Panthers and UP Yoddhas face off in crucial PKL 2025 match
- Panthers rely on consistent raiding and solid defense, Yoddhas bank on aggressive offense
- Head-to-head record evenly poised, but Panthers won their first meeting this season
On Friday, October 17, 2025, the Jaipur Pink Panthers and the UP Yoddhas will face off in a highly anticipated clash in Match 93 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 season. The Panthers have demonstrated a strong, balanced campaign this season, relying on the consistent raiding of their young star, Nitin Kumar, and the solid defensive partnership of Reza Mirbagheri and Aryan Kumar. They are currently among the table-toppers and are aiming for a crucial win to strengthen their position.
The UP Yoddhas, despite some mixed results, have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly with the raiding duo of Guman Singh and Gagan Gowda leading the charge. The experienced corner defender and captain, Sumit, will be key to marshalling their defense as they continue their push for a playoff spot. This match promises to be a battle of contrasting styles, with the Panthers' calm, all-round game pitted against the Yoddhas' aggressive raiding approach.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is perfectly balanced, with each team holding 7 wins in their 14 overall encounters. However, in their first meeting in PKL 2025 (Match 31), the Jaipur Pink Panthers secured a convincing 41-29 victory. Given their confidence from that previous win and the solidity of their defensive unit, the Panthers hold a slight edge in this crucial encounter.
