PLAYER BATTLE: PARDEEP NARWAL VS SIDDHARTH DESAI

• Both raiders will have big milestones to look forward in today’s game as Pardeep Narwal will look to complete 700 raid points in PKL.

o Pardeep will be the 2nd player ever to complete 700 raid points in PKL after Rahul Chaudhari. (Need 18 raid points)

o However, it took 84 games to Rahul Chaudhari to reach there and Pardeep can complete this in his 70th game tonight. 

• On the other side, Siddharth Desai needs 17 raid points to complete 100 raid points in PKL. 

o He will be the first player to complete 100 raid points in PKL 6, currently ranked 3rd with 83 raid points to his name. 

o He will also be the fastest ever player to complete 100 raid points as he has an opportunity to reach 100 raid points in his 7th PKL game, while no one has done it in less than 9 games. 

• Siddharth Desai will be up against a Patna defence that has coming at the back of their best defensive performance of this season last night against Jaipur (14 tackle pts). 

• The first HIGH 5 of the seasons for Patna also came in this match as both Jaideep (5 tackle points from 10 tackles) and Vikas Kale (5 tackle points from 7 tackles) secured HIGH 5s. 

• No defence so far has been able to stop Siddharth Desai in PKL 6, so it is going to be a huge challenge for them to repeat such a performance.
