The penultimate match of the Bengaluru leg will see Jaipur Pink Panthers take on the season 2 champions U Mumba in Pro Kabaddi Season 4 at the Sree Kanteerva stadium, on Thursday. The star-studded Jaipur team is well built in both attack and defence.
The table-toppers looks to extend their supreme run in Pro Kabaddi season 4 by defeating U Mumba. The Anup Kumar led team were involved in some close battles in the current edition as they sit fifth with 4 wins and 3 losses, heading into today’s battle.
The live streaming for the game between the Jaipur Pink Panthers vs U Mumba will be available on starsports.com from 20:00 IST. The match will be telecasted live from Sree Kanteerava Stadium and will be aired on Star Sports 2 (HD) in English and Star Sports 3 (HD) in Hindi.
The former champions Jaipur Pink Panthers look impeccable after the disastrous season 2 and 3. The new recruits Shabeer Bapu and Ajay Kumar have been stupendous for the Panthers in the attack.
The injury-prone Shabeer and Jasvir were handled really well by season 1 champions. The destructive Shabeer Bapu will come up against his old counterparts in today’s battle, and faces a stiff test against the King of Kabaddi Rakesh Kumar.
The defence of the Pink Panthers is making life difficult for the opposition attackers. The Amit Hooda’s rock solid super tackles in the crunch situations made huge differences in season 4. The trio of Amit Hooda, Ran Singh and Rajesh Narwal will face an uphill battle against Anup Kumar and Rishank Devadiga, where the latter has imposed serious problems to the Jaipur defenders in the past.
U Mumba, the most consistent team in the Pro Kabaddi was at sixes and sevens in the current edition. The vulnerable defence is proving to be a real obstacle for U Mumba and due to a slipshod defence, the presence of Rakesh Kumar on the right corner is proving to be really vital for the three-time finalist.
Jeeva Kumar and Sunil Kumar never looks threatening for the raiders in season 4. The uninspired defence should battle it out against Shabeer Bapu and Jasvir Singh. The attacking force of Anup Kumar and Rishank Devadiga should come good in today's encounter.
The contest between Mumbai and Jaipur have produced intriguing battles in the past and moreover, Jaipur is one of the teams that troubled the most successful team, U Mumba in the past. The head to head stands 4-3 in favour of Mumbai that includes a great comeback win for the season 2 champions, when these two teams met earlier.
It’s the battle between the two former champions and let’s see who comes out on top.
