Surender Gill played a crucial role in the sole win UP Yoddha has had this season, with his composure earning the team a last-second win. He also got a super 10 in the previous game against Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Rohit Tomar, although coming in only as a substitute in the second half of the team’s previous game against the Panthers, earned six raid points and a tackle point.

Record-breaker Pardeep Narwal got just three points in the previous game and will be itching to add more to his tally going ahead. With over 1,170 raid points, Pardeep, the top PKL raider, will always be a potential threat.
