The Gujarat Giants will take on the Patna Pirates in the 47th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Monday, November 11, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
Playing on back-to-back days, especially after suffering a crushing defeat may not be what the Gujarat Giants need, but those are the cards that they've been dealt. They suffered a 16-point defeat at the Haryana Steelers on Sunday night, their second loss to the Steelers in the space of four days, and with six defeats in seven matches, they're rooted to the bottom of the table.
Meanwhile, the Pirates finished on the right side of a cliffhanger this time around, beating the Jaipur Pink Panthers in a closely contested match 43-41, with Ayan leading the way with a superb 14-point haul, Devank also picking up another Super 10, albeit one dominated by bonus points.
Also encouraging for Patna was their captain Shubham Shinde scoring three tackle points, crucial ones at that, with his form essential in taking them all the way this season.

GUJ vs PAT Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 47
Raider - Devank
Devank will be the most popular Dream11 pick in this match. The Pirates' lead raider has gotten off to a phenomenal start this season, scoring 87 raid points in seven matches, and while he could do with scoring more touch points from a Dream11 perspective, he remains the standout option from among the raiders.
His teammate Ayan isn't far behind and is a must-have and a captaincy shout too.
Defender - Shubham Shinde
Shubham Shinde has amassed only 14 tackle points in seven matches this season, not the best he can do by any means. However, he did return to form with some crucial tackles against the Jaipur Pink Panthers, and the Patna captain will look to carry that momentum against a team that right corners love to play against.
Rahul Sethpal scored a whopping eight tackle points against the Giants, and after that stat, it just is impossible to resist the appeal of Shubham Shinde in your Dream11 teams.
All-Rounder - Jitender Yadav
Jitender Yadav was easily the best player from the Giants in their otherwise disappointing defeat to the Steelers. The left corner, classified as an all-rounder, scored six tackle points and stood tall as the rest of the team crumbled around him.
He is their best defender this season, with 18 tackle points in six appearances, and at 12 credits, he's a steal.

GUJ vs PAT Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
It might be best to back the Patna Pirates in this match, picking a minimum of four or even five players from their team because this Gujarat side simply looks bereft of any ideas or freshness on how to get out of this rut they're in. Even the defense can be patched up with some slightly better performances from the cover defenders, but that raiding unit needs to step up big-time, and it doesn't look like they're going to.
Devank, Ankit, Ayan, and Shubham Shinde could score heavily in this match, with Jitender Yadav and potentially Sombir the only must-haves from the Giants.
