Fresh from a win in their respective games against defending champions Bengaluru Bulls, UP Yoddha lock horns with Haryana Steelers in Day 4 of the Ahmedabad leg at EKA Arena by TransStadia in VIVO Pro Kabaddi 2019. Haryana Steelers will look for a hat-trick of wins whereas UP Yoddha will be keen on improving their score difference in the points table.
Vikash Khandola has struck big with 28 raid points in just three matches. He has received support from Vinay and Naveen Bazzad from the other end, which has been a delight for Haryana Steelers in the offence. The return of Prashant Kumar Rai is rumored to take place against his former team, UP Yoddha.
Shrikant Jadhav and Monu Goyat scored eight and six raid points respectively against Bengaluru Bulls which is good news for the team heading into this contest. Rishank Devadiga could get tested considering his diminishing form.
As for the defence, left corner Sumit has had an excellent debut for UP Yoddha with 22 tackle points. UP Yoddha will rely upon Nitesh Kumar to lead the tackles while Ashu Singh and Amit could yet again serve as covers.
Both Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Vikas Kale have 14 tackle points for Haryana which needs to improve against the renowned offence of UP Yoddha. Kuldeep Singh could make his return to the team along with Ravi Kumar as the left cover.
