U.P. Yoddha lost to the Bengaluru Bulls in the extra time of their eliminator match

The comeback kings of the Pro Kabaddi League, U.P. Yoddha had kicked off their season on a losing note and they could not garner any momentum in the first few matches. However, the comeback of Rishank Devadiga and Nitesh Kumar’s return to form took U.P. Yoddha to the playoffs.

The defenders of the Lucknow-based franchise outshone the raiders as the pair of Nitesh Kumar and Sumit finished in the top 3 of the defenders’ leaderboard. The corner defenders combined forces to score over 150 tackle points between themselves.

Ashu Singh played at the right cover position for U.P. Yoddha and even he proved his worth with 41 tackle points in his debut season. The left cover defender, Amit supported him with 31 tackle points as the defensive quartet of U.P. Yoddha decimated the opposition raiders.

The Yoddhas scored an average of 11 tackle points per match in PKL 2019 which shows how well the defensive unit played. However, the team management will look to strengthen the raiding department ahead of the next season and try to seize the trophy.
