Best finish in PKL - Play-offs (Season 5 and 6)

The Greater Noida-based UP Yoddha franchise is owned by the GMR group. They were amongst the four franchises who joined the PKL in the fifth edition. UP Yoddha were successful in reaching the play-offs of both the seasons they played.

They performed dominantly in their debut season but in the succeeding season, the Yoddhas faltered in the initial stages of the league only to bounce back and finish in the top 3.

Rishank Devadiga has been the top player of the team and the Maharashtra-born raider will represent the Uttar Pradesh team once again in season seven, after UP Yoddha bought him via Final Bid Match in the auction.

The team has over 3,50,000 followers on their official Facebook page and if the franchise maintains its consistency in the upcoming tournament, then expect the number to go up higher.
