Jaipur Pink Panthers (JPP) is a professional Kabaddi team from Jaipur, competing in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team is currently led by Arjun Deshwal and coached by Sanjeev Baliyan. The team is owned by Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan. Jaipur Pink Panthers play their home matches at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium. The team is the second-most successful team in league history with two titles.
Although the team has gained immense popularity due to its association with celebrity owners,[1] Jaipur Pink Panthers won the inaugural season by defeating U Mumba by 35-24.[2][3] The leading raider of the side was Jasvir Singh, while the leading defender was Ran Singh. Jaipur Pink Panthers are exclusively managed by GS Entertainment Worldwide, which is headed by Bunty Walia and Juspreet Singh Walia.
On 4 December 2020, Amazon Prime Video released Sons of the Soil, a series based on their journey in season 7.[4][5][6]
The official theme of the team is "Roar for Panthers" and the official colours are pink and blue.
The team is reference to the Friz Freleng cartoon character Pink Panther. In the inaugural season, their logo had an illustration of the muscular pink panther with the smiling face. In 2015, pink panther's position and the perspective of the text were changed.
