Today's Khel Kabaddi code: 4873
Here are our suggested picks for today’s game:
Nitin Tomar
The most expensive player of PKL 5 auction, Nitin Tomar should feature in your Khel Kabaddi team. He is the leading raid point scorer of UP Yoddha with 148 raid points to his name. Tomar has been phenomenal of late - scoring 66 raid points in the last five matches at a staggering average of 13.2 raid points per game.
He has scored four Super 10 in last five matches, each with 14 or more points. Nitin has scored 14 raid points in their previous encounter against the Thalaivas.
He will definitely look to continue his fine form while taking one of the worst performing defences of the Thalaivas tonight and help his side register their first victory against the southern outfit.
Ajay Thakur
Considering his current form, Ajay should be the first choice for your Khel Kabaddi team. Ajay is the leading raid point scorer of Tamil Thalaivas with 141 raid points to his name. Similar to Nitin, Ajay has also been in sublime form recently scoring 58 raid points in last 5 matches with help of three Super 10s.
Ajay Thakur scored his career-best 20 raid points last night against Telugu Titans, which is also the 2nd highest score by a player in PKL 5. He has scored 18 raid points in last two encounters against the U.P. Yoddha including a Super 10 and will look to continue his fine form to help his side remain unbeaten against the UP Yoddha.
Surender Nada
If the Haryana Steelers are playing, you can’t ignore the presence of Surender Nada on the mat as well as in your Khel Kabaddi team. He is the 2nd leading tackle point scorer of PKL 5 with 61 tackle points to his name, which is just four behind the leader. However, his average of 3.81 is the best by any defender in PKL 5.
Nada will today be up against his former side U Mumba for one last time this season. He has started his PKL 5 journey with a High 5 against them and considering his current form will surely look to repeat the same. He has scored two High 5s in the last two games and considering U Mumba’s line of attack he is expected to get so many chances to complete the 3rd one tonight.
Other players to watch out for
Kashiling Adake – Adake is the leading raid point scorer of U Mumba with 105 raid points to his name. However, his consistency has been a big reason behind him being excluded from the top 3 picks of the day. He has scored 2 Super 10s in last 5 games, but at the same time did not manage to score 5 or more raid points twice. You can substitute him for double points if he features in your Khel Kabaddi card collection.
