Mon Oct 06 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Dabang Delhi K.C. Look to Continue Dominance Against Wounded Jaipur Pink Panthers

**Chennai, India** – Dabang Delhi K.C., the team to beat in PKL 12, will face off against the Jaipur Pink Panthers today at the SDAT Multi Purpose Indoor Stadium in Chennai. Delhi boasts a staggering 9-1 record and are currently on a three-match winning streak, cementing their position at the top of the league table. The Panthers, on the other hand, are reeling from a recent loss to Puneri Paltan and face the daunting task of stopping Delhi’s momentum, potentially without their star raider.

**Ashu Malik: The Unstoppable Force**

Dabang Delhi K.C.’s success is largely attributed to their captain, Ashu Malik, who has emerged as one of the league’s most dominant raiders. With 134 raid points in 10 matches, averaging 13.4 points per game, Ashu’s consistency and versatility pose a significant threat to any defense. He dismantled the Panthers in their previous encounter, scoring 20 raid points, and is expected to lead Delhi’s attack once again.

**Panthers Rely on Samadi After Dhankar Injury**

Jaipur’s hopes hinge on the performance of Iranian sensation Ali Samadi, who delivered a record-breaking 21 raid points in their recent loss. However, the absence of star raider Nitin Dhankar due to injury casts a shadow over the Panthers’ offensive capabilities. Dhankar’s availability remains uncertain, leaving Samadi to carry the raiding burden against Delhi’s formidable defense.

**Fazel Atrachali: The Defensive Wall**

Standing in Samadi’s path is the legendary Fazel Atrachali, who continues to dominate as one of the league’s best defenders. Atrachali, along with fellow veteran defenders Saurabh Nandal and Surjeet Singh, forms a defensive unit that has stifled numerous raiding attacks this season.

**Defensive Woes Plague Jaipur**

Jaipur’s defense has been their Achilles’ heel, particularly in recent matches. They managed a paltry 5 tackle points in their loss to Puneri Paltan, highlighting their vulnerability against strong raiding teams. To stand a chance against Delhi, the Panthers’ young defenders must rediscover their earlier form and contain Ashu Malik’s relentless attacks.

**Delhi Favored to Extend Winning Streak**

History favors Dabang Delhi K.C. in this matchup, especially with Jaipur’s current injury concerns and defensive struggles. While the overall head-to-head record remains close, Delhi has won their last three encounters against the Panthers.
