Today's Khel Kabaddi code is 9390.
Here are our suggested picks for today’s game:
Maninder Singh
If Bengal Warriors are playing, Maninder has to be the first pick for your Khel Kabaddi team. Maninder Singh has scored 50 raid points in 8 games this season. His average of 6.25 raid points per game is the highest by any Bengal raider this season.
He has been performing exceptionally well in front of home crowd, scoring 21 raid points in last two home games. He is just 11 points away from completing 200 points in PKL and will look to do it tonight against a weak Tamil defence.
Sachin
It looks strange to include Sachin ahead of experienced raiders like Jasvir and Ajay Thakur. But, the 18-year-old raider has been the find of this season, scoring 70 raid points in 10 games. He is the only Gujarat raider to have scored a Super 10 this season.
He delivered his best PKL performance of 13 raid points against the strong Haryana Steelers last night. The Jaipur defence has struggled a lot in the absence of Manjeet Chhillar and he will look to take advantage of this to score big tonight. You can include him in your Khel Kabaddi team, if he features in your card collection.
Surjeet Singh
Considering the current form of the most expensive defender of the Bengal Warriors, Surjeet is the player to have in your Khel Kabaddi team. He has scored three High 5s in their last four games and will look to continue his fine form.
He is the leading tackle point scorer of Bengal Warriors with 30 tackle points. He is expected to score big against the weak Tamil attack tonight.
Other players to watch out for
Ajay Thakur / Jasvir Singh – It was a tough call to keep both experienced raiders out of the top 3 picks of the day but both are up against relatively better defensive sides. However, we would recommend Ajay Thakur ahead of Jasvir, if you have him in your card collection because Jasvir is used to slowing down the pace of the game in winning situations.
Fazel Atrachali – The Iranian left-corner is the best foreign defender of PKL with 121 tackle points to his name. He has the potential to score big on any given day and will be aiming to regain his form against the volatile attack of Jaipur tonight. He can be a game changer for your Khel Kabaddi team, if you have him in your card collection.
