Pro Kabaddi League: Three games into the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12, the UP Yoddhas have shown they could emerge as one of the most balanced units this season. With victories against the Telugu Titans and Patna Pirates, followed by a close match with the Haryana Steelers, the statistics show they are shaping into a fine blend of defensive solidity and offensive precision.
On the defensive front, the Yoddhas are already standing out. Skipper Sumit Sangwan has been a rock at the back, earning 15 tackle points and two High 5s for an average of five tackle points per game. He has been well-supported by his deputy, Ashu Singh, who averages 2.67 tackle points per game, adding a strengthened layer to the defense. Together, they have helped ensure UP remains a tough team to break down, with 29 successful tackles and 31 tackle points in total.
The Yoddhas' strength goes beyond just defense, as their raiding unit has also shown remarkable spark. Gagan Gowda has made a powerful statement with 34 raid points and two Super 10s. He averages 11.33 points per game, which is the fifth-highest in the league.
