The Gujarat Giants take on Dabang Delhi KC in the 98th match of Pro Kabaddi 2022 on Friday, November 25, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
It's been a tough season for Gujarat and while they might still have a chance on paper to make the playoffs, it might be difficult after their defeat to UP Yoddhas in their last encounter. Rakesh's excellent start to the season has faded and barring Parteek Dhaiya, the Giants lack might in the raiding department.
Even worse has been their defensive showing. The side has struggled to replace Parvesh Bhainswal and Sunil Kumar and the fact that they've gone from one of the best defending sides to the worst highlights one of the reasons for their bad season.
Meanwhile, an inconsistent Delhi side is still in the hunt to make the playoffs. However, Naveen Kumar and Ashu Malik combining well in their 42-30 win over the Steelers, aided by an assured display from their experienced corners, should give them confidence ahead of this game.

GUJ vs DEL Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Match 98
Raider - Naveen Kumar
Delhi need Naveen at his best if they want to make the playoffs and his return to form bodes well for them. He's easily the best captaincy option as well.
Defender - Sandeep Dhull
Sandeep Dhull has been decent on his return to that left corner position for Delhi. He is someone capable of picking up loads of tackle points in one match, and this could be one such game.
All-Rounder - Parteek Dahiya
Parteek Dhaiya is the in-form player for the Giants and he is a must-have for this game.

There are a couple of expensive Gujarat players in Sourav Gulia and Rakesh, who aren't in good form. If you want Ashu Malik on your team, you might have to sacrifice one of these two, and I would let Sourav go.
