Tamil Thalaivas will square off against Dabang Delhi KC in the third match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2023 at the Transstadia Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, December 3.
After a couple of disappointing seasons, the Tamil Thalaivas turned things around in the last edition, reaching the playoffs. However, they got knocked out of the tournament after losing 39-37 against Puneri Paltan in the second semi-final.
Dabang Delhi KC also made it to the playoffs last season but failed to progress further after losing 56-24 loss to Bengaluru Bulls in the Eliminator. Naveen Kumar and his team will be eager to repeat their performance of Season 8, where they clinched their maiden PKL title.
