UP Yoddha predicted line-up

Nitin Tomar (c) [Raider]

The captain has been performing consistently and proving the worth of the most expensive price tag by spearheading the attack for the team.

Rishank Devadiga [Raider]

The right raider works well in combination with the skipper who raids from the other end, moreover, he is a former U Mumba recruit and will be well aware of the coach Bhaskaran and Anup's tactics having played under them.

Rajesh Narwal [All-rounder]

He is vital to the team's success given the deal that he can make his presence felt in the defence as well as the attack.

Jeeva Kumar [Right Cover Defender]

Another former U Mumba recruit, Jeeva will be the key man to stop the likes of Anup Kumar and Shabeer Bapu in their tracks having known the inside aspects of their game.

Mahesh Goud [Raider]

He is as good as the two frontline raiders and even picked 6 points in the last match against Patna Pirates and will be looking to continue in the same manner.

Nitesh Kumar [Right Corner Defender]

The young gun is working in coordination with the experienced Jeeva Kumar and will be seen in action with some great tackles and blocks.

Pankaj [All-rounder]

U Mumba predicted line-up

Anup Kumar (c) [Raider]

Anup has been quite consistent with his performances in the capacity of a skipper and does not only play as a raider but also lends a hand in the defence.

Shabeer Bapu [Raider]

Kashiling Adake [Raider]

He has the ability to pick up points in heaps when on the raid which will ensure that the U Mumba scoreboard keeps ticking.

Joginder Narwal [Right Corner Defender]

A senior player manning the defence from the other end of the mat even as Anup mans the left side thus ensuring that there is a formidable wall which is not easy to penetrate.

Surinder Singh [Left Corner Defender]
