After the semi-final exit in the Pro Kabaddi League last season, UP Yoddhas will be keen to go the distance in Season 9. Since the franchise’s inception in 2017, they have never finished outside the playoff places. The Lucknow-based team, led by Nitesh Kumar, will take on Jaipur Pink Panthers in their opening game of the new season of Pro Kabaddi League.
