PREVIEW
After a loss in the opening match of vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9, U Mumba will be keen to get their first win of the season. They will take on U.P. Yoddhas in their second match of the season and will need a more complete performance to get the better of the Yoddhas. Their lead raider Guman Singh will need to do better than his four raid points in his last game and will need to be backed up by the likes of Shivam and Jai Bhagwan in attack. U Mumba will also hope that Ashish, who scored seven raid points in the first game of the season, can continue performing similarly. Defensively, captain Surinder Singh will need to lead by example after an underwhelming display last time around. Surinder along with Harendra Kumar, Rinku, Mohit Kiran Magar will need to be on top of their game to prevent the Yoddhas’ talented raiders.
U.P. Yoddhas, on the other hand, will be confident about securing back-to-back wins after edging past Jaipur Pink Panthers in their season opener. Their first encounter of the season witnessed Pardeep Narwal, Surender Gill and Rohit Tomar make their presence felt in attack. They will be eager to build on their opening night win in Season 9 and hope that the likes of Pardeep and Gill can continue their winning momentum when they square off against the Season 2 champions. On the defensive front, the Yoddhas have plenty of options in Nitesh Kumar, Sumit, Shubham Kumar and Ashu Singh. All of their defenders were switched on against the Panthers and they will be expected to perform similarly when they clash against U Mumba on Monday.
