Up Yoddhas News

Super tackles are rare in the PKL as it is hard to defend with just three or less men on the mat. With Patna threatening to run away with the game, leading 19-8, UP Yoddhas needed something special and they found it through Shivam and Nitesh who perfectly executed a Super Tackle.

In a rare occurrence, the second eliminator between the Tamil Thalaivas and U.P. Yoddhas in the Pro Kabaddi League season 9 playoffs was deadlocked 36-36 on Tuesday. But after playing a tie-break, Tamil Thalaivas went on to win the match, and make it to their first semis ever, of the league.

UP Yoddha's Pardeep Narwal is undoubtedly the most successful raider in the history of PKL, with 1404 points, the most super 10s (70), and the most Super raids (67). But for the last two seasons, he has not been at his very best, and his scoring prowess seems to have taken a big hit.

Kabaddi fans often talk about Pardeep Narwal's dip in form, where he has not scored as freely, as he used to. The numbers are for everyone to see which truly justify this claim, but if Sunday's match between UP Yodhha and Bengaluru Bulls is anything to go by, raider could just be back to his best.
