After seven successful legs, the Pro Kabaddi League caravan shifts to Ranchi, the new home of defending champions Patna Pirates. The home team Patna Pirates will start the proceedings of the day against the Telugu Titans. Meanwhile, Gujarat will try to claim the top spot once again in Zone A with a win over the Anup Kumar-led U Mumba.
With so many star players going taking to the mat tonight, we are here to help you with the Khel Kabaddi picks for the day. You will also get a chance to collect player cards and double your fantasy points by entering the Khel Kabaddi code, which will be revealed during the live game.
Today's Khel Kabaddi code is 5597.
Here are our suggested picks for today’s game:
Pardeep Narwal
Considering his performance this season, you can’t even think to keep him out of your Khel Kabaddi team. He is a machine of Super 10s and already scored eight Super 10s in 11 games.
He is the leading raid point scorer of PKL 5 with 149 points at an average of 13.55 raid points per match. The Patna skipper is up against the relatively inexperienced defence of the Telugu Titans tonight and having already scored two Super 10s against them in as many matches, he will look to make it three out of three tonight.
Rahul Chaudhari
It can be very risky to keep the raid machine Rahul Chaudhari out of your Khel Kabaddi team. If Pardeep is the leading raider, Rahul is following him on 2nd spot with 113 raid points to his name.
He is also just 12 points away from completing 600 career raid points in PKL. The raid machine Rahul Chaudhari scored a Super 10 in their previous encounter against Patna Pirates and will look to repeat similar performance tonight.
Abozar Mighani
He is the leading tackle point scorer of Gujarat Fortunegaints on defence with 39 tackle points to his name - good enough for fourth in the league overall. His only High 5 this season came against U Mumba and the Iranian will look for for a similar performance tonight.
Mighani had just ove failed tackle out of six in their previous meeting at Ahmedabad. You can expect some strong performance from the Iranian right corner tonight.
Other players to watch out for
Anup Kumar - Anup is the leading raid point scorer of U Mumba this season with 74 raid points and also contributing well in defence by scoring 15 tackle points. Considering the strong defence of Gujarat Fortunegiants, he will have to lead from the front this time around.
Sombir – The 19-year-old right corner is the guiding force behind Telugu’s improved defensive show in last few games. He has 29 tackle points to his name in 10 games this season. He can be the trump card for your Khel Kabaddi team tonight while facing the strong attack of Patna Pirates.
