Jaipur Pink Panthers' head coach Narender Redhu was overjoyed after a thrilling victory over the Haryana Steelers. Jaipur beat Haryana 37-36 in their Pro Kabaddi 2025 clash on Wednesday, October 01.
Notably, Jaipur Pink Panthers suffered a huge blow as their star raider Nitin Kumar Dhankar could put in only five raids. He did not score a single point. Nitin was off the mat with an injury. However, the other young raiders stepped up when it mattered the most.
Sahil Satpal scored seven raid points while Ali Samadi picked up six. Meetu chipped in with three raid points. The defenders also provided able support. Deepanshu Khatri and Aryan Kumar bagged four tackle points each.

The head coach stated that he had complete faith in the new and young players. He was impressed with the way they performed against an experienced side under pressure.
"I was extra happy that the new guys did well against an experienced team. Our raiders did well without our main raider. I am proud of the new guys. We do not think about winning or losing. I just tell them to play well and there is no pressure. I had the belief that even the new guys would do well. Even Ali Samadi is doing very well. When they all play so well against the defending champions like this, it feels very proud," Narender Redhu said during the post-match press conference.
Jaipur Pink Panthers are fifth on the table. They have six wins and 12 points from ten matches.
