Iranian rising star Ali Samadi impressed everyone with his performances in the previous PKL season. He scored 121 raid points in 19 matches. Jaipur Pink Panthers signed him for ₹16.20 lakhs, making him an affordable retention. Considering his outstanding debut season, he is most likely to be retained.

(2) Nitin Dhankar

Nitin Dhankar is one of the most talented raiders in the league. After making a name for himself with Bengal Warriorz in PKL Season 11, Jaipur Pink Panthers bought him for a whopping ₹1.002 crore in the PKL Season 12 Auction. Despite carrying the pressure of such a big price tag, he delivered with 155 raid points in just 15 matches. Injuries were the only major concern during the season. Otherwise, he remains one of the strongest contenders to be retained.

(3) Reza Mirbagheri

Iranian Left Cover defender Reza Mirbagheri began his PKL career with Jaipur Pink Panthers. Over the last four seasons, he has scored more than 180 tackle points and has been the franchise’s first-choice Left Cover defender. With his consistent performances, he is expected to continue his journey with the Pink Panthers next season as well.

(4) Manjeet Dahiya

Manjeet Dahiya is a quality Right Raider who has consistently performed well for several PKL franchises. Jaipur Pink Panthers signed him for ₹40 lakhs, but unfortunately, he was ruled out due to injury before the start of PKL Season 12. He is still a proven raider, and his price tag remains justified. The franchise could once again place its trust in him for the upcoming season.
