Surender Gill was the star of the show in U.P. Yoddhas’ opening game and is poised to continue the form against U Mumba. Having registered a total of nine points against Jaipur Pink Panthers, Gill will fancy a strong outing on Monday whilst having a confident one-on-one battle with U Mumba’s Sumit.

When it comes to defence, Ashu Singh will hope to replicate his display against Jaipur when he takes on the likes of U Mumba’s raiders Guman Singh and Ashish.

Ashish stood his ground with seven raid points in the defeat to Dabang Delhi K.C., and will target a possible turnaround on Monday. As for Rinku, he will have the tough task of restricting the movements of Surender Gill and ‘Dubki King’ Pardeep Narwal.
