Were you mesmerised by the action on the opening day of Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2? Well, guess what! Matchday Two has some enthralling fixtures that will keep you wanting for more.
There is no better way to start your week than to witness two emphatic encounters take centre stage at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack as Rajasthan Warriors lock horns with Gujarat Giants in the first game on Christmas day. The second fixture sees Chennai Quick Guns and Telugu Yoddhas face off in a Southern Derby.
Let’s take a sneak peek into what awaits us on matchday 2.
Match 3: Rajasthan Warriors vs Gujarat Giants
There is no time to waste for the Rajasthan Warriors as they return to the mat to battle the Gujarat Giants. Kolhapur-born Majahar Jamadar and his deputy Akshay Ganpule will be the players to watch out for, but also keep a close eye on Jagganath Das. The all-rounder notched 37 points in 10 games and will be keen to take things up a notch on Monday.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants will entrust Abhinandan Patil to lead the charge against the Warriors. Abhinandan, the Attacker of the Tournament in UKK Season 1, is known for his athleticism around and within the boundaries and for constantly putting the defenders to the test. The spotlight will be on him and how he plays the role of a talisman for his team-mates in their opening game of Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2.
Match 4: Chennai Quick Guns vs Telugu Yoddhas
This is a matchup like none other. The Southern Derby was one of those fixtures that always pulled a crowd and gave them an entertaining experience to reminisce on after leaving the arena.
Let’s start with the Quick Guns. The team may not have gone all the way to the championship round, but they produced two talents - Ramji Kashyap and Madan - who took the league by storm and walked away with Player of the Tournament and Young Player of the Tournament awards. With Amit Patil back at the helm, Chennai Quick Guns will look to pose a competitive challenge to Telugu Yoddhas.
Meanwhile, Telugu Yoddhas take the mat with renewed intention and hunger to win the Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2. All-rounder Pratik Waikar and his deputy - Milind Chavrekar, who won the inaugural season as a captain of Odisha Juggernauts - will combine forces and will have the license to script a new fairytale chapter for the team in the UKK Season 2. Going by the numbers, the Yoddhas have a 2-1 advantage over the Quick Guns. Will there be a twist in the latest edition of the rivalry? Let’s find out on Monday.
