Jaipur Pink Panthers finished top of the standings in the regular league format of the Pro Kabaddi season 9. With 15 wins, six defeats and a tie in their 22 matches, they booked themselves a spot in the knockout round.
In the semi-final of the knockouts, they beat Bengaluru Bulls 49-29 for a comfortable passage into the title match.
The 2014 champions have won four matches in a row to stand in as the in-form team going into the Pro Kabaddi final.
Jaipur Pink Panthers will take on Puneri Paltan in the Pro Kabaddi League final on Saturday, 17 December.
Speaking ahead of the final, captain Sunil Kumar said, “We have good raiders in Arjun Deshwal, V Ajith and Rahul Chaudhari. One of them always plays well in every match. We won by a big margin against Bengaluru because our defense unit also performed. I told Sahul Kumar not to worry about losing points and that if he got caught, I was there to control the defense. My job is to stay on the mat and control the team and I have been trying to do that throughout the season.”
