MUM vs JAI Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - October 31, 2024

U Mumba go up against the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the 28th match of PKL 2024 on Thursday, October 31, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.

In this rematch of the final of the first-ever PKL season, both these teams will be searching for a much-needed win to help them get a move on in the season. These two sides have played out some thrilling clashes in the league's history and fans will expect a Diwali blockbuster this time around as well.

Notably, both sides played out a tie in their respective last match. On that note, let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this fixture.

#3 Parvesh Bhainswal (DEF) (MUM)

U Mumba left cover defender Parvesh Bhainswal is a player to watch out for in this fixture. Parvesh has scored only four tackle points in three matches, and he has hardly received any consideration from Dream11 players for their teams.

However, neither he nor Sunil Kumar have really hit the level of form they should have this season. But this could be the game for them to get back to the form that they showed back in their days playing for the Gujarat Giants.

Parvesh is a very seasoned PKL defender, and his experience could shine through at various crucial moments in what should be a high-octane clash. He is an interesting Fantasy pick for this one.

#2 Ajit Chavan (RAI) (MUM)

Promising left raider Ajit Chavan has started this season well for U Mumba, scoring 15 raid points in three matches, opening with a Super 10 against Dabang Delhi KC in U Mumba's first match of the season.

While he was able to replicate that form in the next two matches, he remains a Fantasy asset with very high point-scoring potential, and it's surprising to see his Dream11 ownership drop going into this match.

This Jaipur defense hasn't done enough to convince anyone that they're solid, and with concerns over the quality of the right side of their defense, Ajit could exploit that weakness in their team.

He could really light up Hyderabad tonight and including him in your Fantasy teams should make for an exciting watch.

#1 Lucky Sharma (DEF) (JAI)

Jaipur Pink Panthers right corner Lucky Sharma could be a useful Dream11 surprise pick. Backed to replace Sahul Kumar, who was released ahead of the auction, he hasn't exactly hit his stride, scoring only seven tackle points in four outings, and as a result, his Dream11 ownership has plummeted.

However, he is a player with a very high points ceiling, like most corner defenders have. Going up against plenty of left raiders in the U Mumba camp, Lucky could have his first solid match of the season, with even a High 5 on the cards if he starts well.

If you're looking for an assured Dream11 surprise pick with the promise of a big haul, Lucky should fit the bill.
