It’s the weekend! And we have a Super Saturday on the menu - brought to you by Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2.
Every good event needs a starting act, and for that, we have Chennai Quick Guns and Mumbai Khiladis lifting the shutters of Matchday 6’s schedule. And after this comes the mega fixture - Odisha Juggernauts vs Gujarat Giants - in the ‘Battle of the Unbeatens’.
Are you ready for the Super Saturday? If you still need to, we provide some insights before you tune in tonight.
Match 11: Chennai Quick Guns vs Mumbai Khiladis
Chennai Quick Guns and Mumbai Khiladis arrive into this fixture with two different narratives - one seeking to consolidate their unbeaten status and one looking to put their ‘so close, yet so far’ form behind them.
Chennai have administered their authority on all fronts this season - attack and defence - and will fancy their chances to raise the bar against Mumbai. Ramji Kashyap - the talisman and backbone of the Quick Guns - is closing on a record 150 attack points in Ultimate Kho Kho and will be the player to watch out for today.
Mumbai Khiladis, on the other hand, are no less behind in stats as they averaged 33 attack points and 324 seconds of active time on the mat in Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2. While their three defeats have come in narrow margins, the Aniket Pote-led side is a team that doesn’t throw in the towel easily and will go all out to unsettle the Chennai Quick Guns.
Match 12: Odisha Juggernauts vs Gujarat Giants
At the current stage, the Odisha Juggernauts vs Gujarat Giants fixture is the biggest one yet, considering the winner of this tie gets to not only take the top spot but also ensure they remain unbeaten after six matchdays in Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2.
Starting with Odisha, the defending champions have been on a five-game unbeaten streak, which dates back to their last defeat in Season 1 - against Telugu Yoddhas in the group phase. Deepak Sahoo has been the shining light for the franchise as one of the best Wazirs in UKK Season 2, and he will look to wrestle for points against Gujarat’s in-form all-rounder, Suyash Gargate.
Suyash, the star of Gujarat Giants’ latest triumph with three Dream Runs against Telugu Yoddhas, will aim to be an all-round menace for the Odisha Juggernauts. Among the only four players in Ultimate Kho Kho history to register 70-plus attack points and 10-plus Dream Runs in this league, the Gujarat star will be banked upon to pivot his side to make it four wins in four.
