Pro Kabaddi 2022: Jaipur Pink Panthers squad, schedule, results each season

Jaipur Pink Panthers haven’t had much success in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) since winning the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2014.

They have only made the PKL Playoffs once, in 2016, and in their previous season, they finished eighth, out of 12 teams.

Arjun Deshwal will be one of the key players in action for the Pink Panthers this season. The attacker won as many as 267 raid points in the previous season, ending as the second-most successful raider of the season, including six Super Raids and 16 Super 10s.

Ajith Kumar, who played for U Mumba last season, will be Arjun’s partner for the upcoming season. Ajith Kumar, too, had a productive season, amassing 259 raid points in the 2021 edition.

Reza Mirbagheri, a defender from Iran, was picked up by the Pink Panthers this season after being bought for Rs 26.80 lakh following a fierce bidding. Also in the Jaipur Pink Panthers side is Rahul Chadhuri, who is one of PKL’s first superstars.
