Jaipur Pink Panthers (JPP) is a professional kabaddi team from Jaipur that competes in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team is owned by Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan and plays its home matches at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium.[1][2] It is currently captained by Nitin Rawal and coached by Narender Redhu.[3] JPP won the inaugural season of the PKL in 2014, adding another title in 2022. Its two titles are the second most in league history.

The team's celebrity ownership has attracted media attention and a celebrity following.[4] On 4 December 2020, Amazon Prime Video released Sons of the Soil, a series following the team and its players throughout the 2019 Pro Kabaddi League season.[5][6][7]

Team identity

The team's motto is "Roar for the Panthers" and its official colours are pink and blue.[8]

The team name is a reference to the Friz Freleng cartoon character Pink Panther. In the inaugural season, the logo featured an illustration of a muscular pink panther with a smiling face. In 2015, the design was updated leading to the current logo.
