We are 10 minutes away from the first raid of the match. It will be exciting to see who wins the battle between UP Yoddha and Jaipur Pink Panthers. 

On the other side, the inaugural PKL winners Jaipur Pink Panthers lost their first match of Pro Kabaddi 2021 against the Gujarat Giants, but they made a comeback in style by defeating Vikash Khandola's Haryana Steelers in their next game. Deepak Hooda and Arjun Deshwal were the stars of Jaipur's victory against Haryana Steelers. The duo will expect the defenders to support them better tonight against UP Yoddha. 

Pardeep Narwal returned to form in the match against his former team Patna Pirates and helped his new team UP Yoddha register their first win in Pro Kabaddi 2021.
