The 76th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2023 will see Dabang Delhi KC face off with Gujarat Giants at SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday at 8 pm IST.

Dabang Delhi KC are having a great run in PKL 10 and have been unbeaten in their last seven games. They faced their second tie of the season in their most recent game against Patna Pirates (39-39). Ashu Malik was the star raider for them with 14 points.

Meanwhile, the Fazel Atrachali-led Gujarat Giants suffered a humiliating 17-37 setback against Puneri Paltan in their previous game. Both the raiding as well as defensive units underperformed, except Sombir who executed six successful tackles and claimed his third High 5.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the upcoming DEL vs GUJ Dream11 match.

With an average of 2.75 tackles per match, Sombir bagged his third High 5 in the most recent game and will look to grab another in the upcoming DEL vs GUJ Dream11 match.
