Kabaddi Titans Clash in High-Stakes Showdown
23 Oct
Summary
- Two-time champions Jaipur Panthers face three-time title holders Patna Pirates
- Crucial match for playoff positions in final league stage
- Patna's powerful raiding duo of Maninder Singh and Ayan a key threat
On Thursday, October 23, 2025, the two-time champions Jaipur Pink Panthers (JAI) will clash with the three-time title holders Patna Pirates (PAT) in a highly anticipated match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2025. This crucial encounter in the final leg of the league stage is pivotal for both teams as they look to solidify their positions for the upcoming playoffs.
The Pirates have historically held a significant advantage over the Panthers, but the latter secured a crucial 39-36 victory in their first meeting earlier this season. Patna, led by star raider Maninder Singh and the in-form Ayan, boast a formidable attacking unit that will pose a significant challenge for the Panthers.
Jaipur will need to rely on their defensive prowess, marshaled by captain Nitin Rawal and Reza Mirbagheri, to contain the Pirates' raiding threat. The Panthers' raiding unit, featuring Nitin Kumar Dhankhar and Ronak Singh, must also consistently score points to match Patna's high-scoring average.
Given Patna's strong momentum from their recent dominant performances and the powerful raiding form of Ayan, they enter this match as the slight favorites. However, the Panthers will be determined to secure a victory and improve their playoff positioning.
