In defense, Girish Ernak, Parvesh Bhainswal, Sunil Kumar and Ravinder Pahal have kept the opponents calm so far. In this match too, strong defense will be expected from these defenders.

In defense, the trio of Sumit Kumar, Ashu Singh and Rohit Tomar have also been able to perform unitedly in one match. If seen, so far UP has won the match in which Pardeep Narwal walks. In such a situation, the warriors will once again keep an eye on Paradeep. His form can be the guarantee of victory for the warriors.
