The Pro Kabaddi League 2022 final will take place on 17 December, Saturday. Jaipur Pink Panthers and Puneri Paltan will face off in the exciting fixture at Mumbai’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Indoor Stadium. In the semi-finals, the Jaipur Pink Panthers easily beat Bengaluru Bulls 49-29 thanks to the efforts of V Ajith Kumar, Arjun Deshwal and Sahul Kumar.
On the other hand, Puneri Paltan edged past a determined Tamil Thalaivas 39-37 to reach their first final. Jaipur Pink Panthers have reached the final for the third time in the history of the league. They had earlier emerged as the winners of the inaugural edition. In their second final, they finished second best to Patna Pirates.
It will be a closely contested battle as it’s a clash for the title and the match between the top two sides of PKL 2022. But Jaipur Pink Panthers despite losing their league phase matches against Puneri Paltan will be slight favourites due to the presence of the top raider of the season Arjun Deshwal and the best defender of the season Ankush in their ranks.
However, Deshwal will be up against the best defender PKL has ever seen in Fazel Atrachali, who can keep the star raider on the bench. The match will be won on fine margins and the best defence on the night will clinch the title.
The best two teams of #PKL9 will compete for the title. First-ever winners @JaipurPanthers are in their third final, while @PuneriPaltan have reached the @ProKabaddi summit clash for the first time.
