PAT vs MUM Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match

#1 Devank Dalal, Patna Pirates

Not many would have predicted Patna Pirates raider Devank Dalal to score the highest raid points during the league-round of Pro Kabaddi 2024. However, Devank surprised everyone by finishing at the top of the raiders' leaderboard after the first stage.

Devank scored 280 raid points in 22 matches, averaging more than 11 raid points per game. He maintained incredible consistency during the league games. While the pressure of playoff matches is different, Devank should still end up scoring a Super 10 in the Eliminator 2 against U Mumba.

#2 Ayan Lohchab, Patna Pirates

Another Patna Pirates player to feature on the list is the team's left-raider Ayan Lohchab. The youngster has been pretty impressive in his first season. He holds the sixth position on the raiders' leaderboard, having scored 165 raid points from 22 matches.

Although Ayan has scored 125 raid points less than Devank Dalal, he scored big in quite a few matches during the league round. If not captaincy, Dream11 users can at least consider Ayan as a potential vice-captaincy option for the fantasy contests in the upcoming Pro Kabaddi fixture.

#3 Ajit Chouhan, U Mumba

The second Eliminator of Pro Kabaddi 2024 will be a battle between three of the top six raiders in the league stage. While Ayan Lohchab and Devank Dalal will unite for the Patna Pirates, U Mumba will expect Ajit Chouhan to produce a match-winning performance.

Ajit has been the breakout star of Pro Kabaddi 2024. During the league stage, Ajit scored 180 raid points in 22 matches for U Mumba. The agility of the left-raider helped him torment the opposition defenders during the league stage.

Apart from Ajit Chouhan, Devank Dalal, and Ayan Lohchab, another probable candidate for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests will be Patna Pirates captain Ankit Jaglan. In the league round, Ankit scored 70 tackle points in 22 matches and finished fifth on the defenders' leaderboard.
