In Surender Gill, UP Yoddha have an excellent raider who peaks in the second half of the match. If Pardeep starts well, Surender Gill can be preserved for a second-half blitzkrieg. Pardeep Narwal, the ‘Record-Breaker’ had endured a difficult beginning to his life at new team U.P. Yoddha. But he is beginning to find his rhythm on the mat and that will be very crucial in Yoddha’s race for a Playoff spot.
Gujarat Giants will be no easy pushovers, however. They weren’t convincing in their win against the Telugu Titans, but they remain with a mathematical possibility of making it to the Playoffs – something coach Manpreet Singh will be keen to tell his players. Girish Ernak had a solid day at the left corner position which will make his one-on-one battles with Surender Gill very interesting. If Gujarat’s coveted cover combination of Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal can stop the Yoddha raiders, the Gujarat team will definitely be in with a chance.
The last time when these two teams met, the game ended in a 32-32 tie. Rakesh Narwal from Gujarat Giants scored a Super 10 while Record Breaker Pardeep Narwal secured a Super 10 for Pardeep Narwal. The contest is once again expected to go down the wire when these two teams meet.
