Pro Kabaddi 2019: 3 reasons why UP Yoddha could win the title

#3 Capable all-rounders and a balanced starting seven

UP Yoddha has signed potential all-rounders in their line-up.

UP Yoddha has decent all-rounders in their squad for Season 7. They signed Mohsen Maghsoudlu at 21 lakhs in the auction. Hailing from Iran, Mohsen is a do or die specialist in the offence. He can score touchpoints as well as save the team in all-out situations. He can also execute thigh holds and assists as a right cover defender.

Narender is a defensive all-rounder who joined UP Yoddha last season. He executed some brilliant blocks and dashes from the right cover position. The team management will yet again expect him to perform well as he scored 42 tackle points in 25 matches in his debut season.

Sachin Kumar from Uttar Pradesh is also a defensive all-rounder who is well known for his diving ankle hold from the left corner position. He supported Nitesh Kumar in the defense and scored crucial tackle points for the team last year. He can also raid at any given moment if required. Sachin scored 43 tackle points in 25 matches at an average of 1.72 tackle points.

Akram Shaikh and Gurvinder are offensive all-rounders who can use their height to score do or die raid points for the team. They can come in as substitutions if the team management decides to have them play.

UP Yoddha's starting seven looks balanced on paper as one of the consistent sides heading into Season 7. They have match-winning potential playing seven into their line up with a star-studded offense along with balanced defense.

If UP Yoddha manages to play decently in their league stage matches and remain injury-free throughout the tournament, they can win their maiden title in the upcoming season of Pro Kabaddi.
