SQUAD ANALYSIS
The Jaipur-based franchise have kept hold of their star performers and added some firepower in the auction. One of the most active teams at the Season 11 Players’ Auction, Panthers bought as many as 12 players.
Both Jaipur Pink Panthers’ raiding and defensive unit look solid on paper. While Arjun Deshwal will lead its attack, the Panthers have further strengthened by adding in Shrikant Jadhav and Vikash Kandola. On the defensive part, Surjeet Singh is certainly a name that needs no introduction. He will be looking to form a formidable defence with the likes of Ankush and Reza Mirbagheri.
However, the absence of former skipper and defensive lynchpin Sunil Kumar will be a big hole to fill for Baliyan and his boys.

Strength: Experience and dynamism of India regular Sachin will add a lot of confidence to Narender and will allow him be able to raid without freedom. A familiar defensive core
Weakness: The lack of backup defenders is a serious point of concern for the franchise, who failed to qualify for the playoffs last term, especially given Sagar and Sahil injury records.
