The 101st match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 will start at 8 pm IST on Monday, December 9, in Pune. Tabletoppers Haryana Steelers will cross swords with Vijay Malik's Telugu Titans. This match marks the beginning of the race to the playoffs.
Haryana Steelers have almost sealed their place in the next round of Pro Kabaddi League 2024. They hold the No. 1 position in the standings, having won 13 out of their 17 matches. The Steelers defeated three-time champions Patna Pirates in an intense game on Friday, December 6.
Haryana's opponents Telugu Titans have improved in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. They sit fifth in the standings with 10 wins in 17 games. The Titans beat Bengal Warriorz in a close encounter on December 7. It will be interesting to see if they can beat the Steelers.

Before the Dream11 teams are locked in for the Haryana Steelers vs Telugu Titans match, here's a look at the three players who can be picked as captain or vice-captain.
#1 Vijay Malik - Telugu Titans
All-rounder Vijay Malik has revived his Pro Kabaddi League career in 2024. After a disappointing stint with UP Yoddhas in 2023/24, Malik has made a brilliant comeback in the ongoing season by scoring 138 raid points in 17 matches. Malik stands fifth on the raiders' leaderboard right now.
Since Pawan Kumar Sehrawat got injured, Vijay has taken charge of the Telugu Titans' raid attack and performed the job brilliantly. In the last game against the Bengal Warriorz, Vijay led the Titans from the front by scoring 11 raid points.
Although the Haryana Steelers' defense has done a much better job than the Bengal Warriorz in Pro Kabaddi League 2024, Malik should score big once again.
#2 Mohammadreza Shadloui - Haryana Steelers
Iranian all-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui has justified his massive price tag of ₹2.07 crore in the Pro Kabaddi League. Shadloui is the tournament's second-most successful defender, having scored 57 tackle points in 17 matches.
Shadloui is the best option for captaincy or vice-captaincy in Dream11 contests because of his all-round talent. The Iranian star has chipped in with crucial raid points for the Haryana Steelers. Even in Haryana's last match against Patna Pirates, Shadloui scored four raid points and five tackle points.
Considering how consistent Shadloui has been in the left corner position, making him the captain in Dream11 contests will be wise.
#3 Ashish Narwal - Telugu Titans
All-rounder Ashish Narwal has been the silent assassin of the Telugu Titans team. The fans always talk about Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and Vijay Malik when discussing the Titans' strengths. Ashish's all-round brilliance has made a difference to the team's fortunes in Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
When Telugu Titans battled Haryana Steelers in the Noida leg of the tournament, Ashish stole the show by scoring 11 points. He went in to raid 22 times and returned with 11 touchpoints. He can be a decent choice for the vice-captain's role in the Dream11 fantasy contests.
