PKL 2025: Jaipur Pink Panthers – Weaknesses
Jaipur Pink Panthers will have to prove their attack after the departure of their captain Arjun Deshwal. Nitin Kumar Dhankhar, Manjeet Dahiya, Iranian Ali Samadi Choubtarash, and all-rounder Uday Parte will have to take the key responsibilities in the raiding role. They also have retained youngsters Sombir and Ritik Sharma, but the attack unit has to prove a lot in the new PKL season.
Final Verdict
The Jaipur Pink Panthers PKL 2025 squad looks defensively solid, led by Reza Mirbagheri and supported by a strong set of defenders. However, the raiding department will be under scrutiny after Arjun Deshwal’s departure. If newcomers like Nitin Kumar Dhankhar and Uday Parte perform consistently, Jaipur can be serious contenders for their third PKL title.
