The Bengaluru Bulls take on U Mumba in the 62nd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Monday, November 18, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Bulls have been in really poor form this season, with only two wins in ten matches, and enter this one on the back of a defeat at the hands of Dabang Delhi KC. Their opponents, U Mumba, have won six and tied one out of their ten matches, beating the Tamil Thalaivas 35-32 in their last outing.
The Bulls and U Mumba played out some entertaining matches in the past, and this one should be no different. On that note, let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this one.
Trending
#3 Sombir (ALL) (MUM)
U Mumba's left corner Sombir is one of the lesser-owned players from his team. And while his ownership is more than 40% at the time of writing, he could be a mid-range Dream11 differential for most teams and a powerful one at that.
The left corner has been inconsistent this season, but when in form, his back holds and ankle holds are a treat to watch. Against one of the worst raiding units this season, expect U Mumba's top defensive unit to rake in the points.
While the right side of the defense will get the opportunity to initiate tackles, Sombir's bravery and temperament make it likely for him to go around and initiate blocks and knee holds at will.
He has 18 tackle points in ten appearances so far and will look to boost that number in this fixture.
#2 Saurabh Nandal (DEF) (BLR)
The former captain of the Bulls, right corner Saurabh Nandal has been dropped from the starting 7 a couple of times as the Bulls have tried every combination in the book without much success. Against a fearsome U Mumba raiding unit led by left raider Ajit Chauhan, the Bulls will lean on Saurabh's experience to negate that threat, recalling him into the starting lineup.
One of the most experienced and lethal corners in the league, Saurabh Nandal has scored a whopping 262 tackle points in 102 appearances and is historically a very reliable Dream11 option. If you're looking for a Bulls player to accompany Nitin Rawal on your teams, Saurabh could be who you're looking for.
#1 Pardeep Narwal (RAI) (BLR)
Pardeep Narwal's move to the Bengaluru Bulls hasn't gone nearly as well as he'd have hoped for at the auction. The Record-Breaker and his team struggling to find form this season. It's a curious case with selecting Pardeep on your Dream11 teams as it's hard to define what you can realistically expect from him as a player.
Someone who used to score 15 or even 20 points per match for fun in his prime, and a player who is still capable of putting in such shifts on his day, Pardeep is underperforming as compared to his very high Dream11 points potential. It's hard to predict which games he'll explode in nowadays, but if he does, the upside is huge.
The Bulls' captain has ownership levels lower than 20% in this match, and for those willing to take the plunge, he becomes a great high-risk, high-reward option.
