Pro Kabaddi League Season 12<\/a> continues to offer thrilling encounters, and fans are all set for Match 86<\/strong> as two former champions \u2014 Jaipur Pink Panthers<\/strong> and Puneri Paltan<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 go head-to-head on 15th October 2025<\/strong>, at 8:30 PM IST<\/strong>. The match will be played at the Thyagaraja Sports Complex, New Delhi<\/strong><\/a>, and is part of the Triple Header Day<\/strong>, being the second match<\/strong> of the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This encounter is more than just a league-stage fixture \u2014 it\u2019s a battle of prestige<\/strong> between two of the most respected teams in PKL history. Jaipur Pink Panthers<\/a><\/strong>, two-time PKL champions, will take on the Season 10 champions, Puneri Paltan<\/a><\/strong>, in what promises to be a hard-fought kabaddi match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Pune looks to continue their top form, Jaipur will be desperate to bounce back and revive their campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puneri Paltan<\/a><\/strong> are enjoying a dream run in Season 12. They are currently sitting on top of the points table<\/strong> <\/a>with 24 points<\/strong>, having won 12 out of their 15 matches<\/strong> so far. Their recent performance has been nothing short of dominant \u2014 especially their win over home team Dabang Delhi<\/a><\/strong>, featuring legends like Fazel Atrachali and Surjeet Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, things are looking tough for Jaipur Pink Panthers<\/strong>. They are coming into this match on the back of three consecutive defeats<\/strong> and have slipped to 9th position<\/strong> in the table. Out of 13 matches<\/strong>, they\u2019ve only managed 6 wins<\/strong> and have accumulated just 12 points<\/strong>. Coached by Narender Redhu<\/strong>, Jaipur will need something special tonight if they want to turn things around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how both teams have performed against each other in PKL history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interestingly, Jaipur has won 3 of the last 4 meetings<\/strong> between these two teams. However, the last encounter<\/strong> was won by Puneri Paltan \u2014 giving them a slight edge in confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a standout raider at the beginning of the season, Nitin Dhankhar\u2019s form has dropped<\/strong> in recent games. He missed two matches due to injury and failed to score in two others. Jaipur lost three out of those four games<\/strong>, clearly reflecting how crucial Nitin is to the team’s success. Despite this, he remains in the Top 10 Raiders List of PKL 12<\/strong>, and tonight could be his redemption game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaurav Khatri has been the backbone of Pune\u2019s defense this season. His aggressive style and sharp tackles<\/strong> helped Puneri Paltan seal a dramatic win against Dabang Delhi. In that match, he completely neutralized experienced raiders like Ajinkya Pawar. With Jaipur\u2019s raiding unit struggling, Gaurav\u2019s role tonight will be even more critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puneri Paltan Starting 7<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaipur Pink Panthers Starting 7<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the current form, momentum, and team balance<\/strong>, Puneri Paltan<\/strong> clearly head into this match as the favourites. Their squad looks settled, confident, and every player knows their role. With strong defense and reliable raiders, Pune has the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Jaipur cannot be underestimated<\/strong>. Their head-to-head record is strong, and if key players like Nitin Dhankhar return to form, they can surprise any opponent. It\u2019s a high-stakes game for Jaipur, and that urgency could bring out their best performance yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
