Manpreet Singh’s Haryana Steelers, who have begun their Pro Kabaddi League Season 9 campaign with two wins on the trot, will hope to put their best foot forward when they face the Jaipur Pink Panthers at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, in Bengaluru, on Friday (October 14). The JSW Sports-owned side eased past challenges from Bengal Warriors and Tamil Thalaivas, and sit pretty as one of only two teams, alongside Dabang Delhi, yet to drop a point.
“The mood in the camp is great after winning two games and the confidence is also high. We have been working hard in training with coach Manpreet ensuring that we keep our focus on the game,” Jaideep Dahiya said.
It's game day!

The Panthers, meanwhile, lost a close opener against UP Yoddhas, before holding their nerve against the Patna Pirates. Raider Arjun Deshwal has been among the most dangerous players in the League, having raked in 25 points over the Panthers’ two outings. “The Panthers are a good team with players like Sunil, Ankush and Arjun, who have been in good form. We expect quite a challenge from them, but we are also focusing on ourselves and are confident of our abilities,” added Dahiya.
The Steelers have been buoyed by the exploits of Manjeet, who has logged 27 points across two games. The Steelers have been bolstered by the addition of Iranian Amirhossein Bastami, the third-most expensive overseas player in the PKL this term, who has joined the squad in Bengaluru.
