On the first day of the Pune leg in the Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5, it will be the Bengal Warriors locking horns with the Tamil Thalaivas at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex.
Bengal Warriors predicted line up
Vinod Kumar (Raider)
Vinod Kumar will be given the responsibility of spearheading the attack of the side if the coach decides to give rest to Maninder Singh.
Surjeet Singh (Defender)
The skipper will play a background role in marshalling the young guns on the mat instead of the regular side.
Young Chang Ko (Defender)
The foreign recruit has been given chances to showcase his mettle and must rise up to the challenge.
Jang Kun Lee (Raider)
Having not featured in the recent matches, Lee might take to the mat tonight as a testing ground prior to the playoffs.
Bhupender Singh (Raider)
He will be assessed in this match to see if he will be able to play in the capacity of a third raider in the important matches.
Shrikant Tewthia (All rounder)
He claimed the all-important High-5 in the last match with some stellar tackles against Puneri Paltan.
Vikash (All rounder)
He picked up a couple of vital tackle points in the last match and will be keen to perform if given the chance in place of Ran Singh.
Tamil Thalaivas predicted line up
Ajay Thakur (Raider)
With four back-to-back Super-10's, Ajay Thakur has been sensational with his raiding in the recent matches.
Prapanjan (Raider)
Prapanjan will work behind Ajay in order to render the rival defence hapless with his attacking strides.
Amit Hooda (Defender)
Amit Hooda has been off-colour for the majority of matches but will set his target on Bhupender and Vinod Kumar in the match tonight.
C Arun (Defender)
He may not have the height advantage but he can be lethal with his powerful dashes across the mat.
Vineet Kumar (Defender)
He will come into the equation when the team has to inflict the combination and chain tackles against the opposition.
Darshan (Defender)
He was quite vital in the last match with three important tackle points in the nick of time and will look to do the same tonight.
Vijin Thangadurai (Defender)
He will add depth to the defence and will look to increase his tally of tackle points.
