Pro Kabaddi 2024, Gujarat Giants vs Telugu Titans: 3 player-battles to watch out for

#1 Vijay Malik vs Himanshu Singh

Telugu Titans skipper Vijay Malik has done well recently in the absence of Pawan Sehrawat. With three Super 10s and 79 points so far in the tournament, he has been tough to handle by defenses across the league.

Facing him will be Himanshu. In eight games so far, he has earned 19 tackle points with a High 5 to his name. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this battle.

#2 Shankar Gadai vs Parteek Dahiya

On the other end, Parteek Dahiya will be aiming to have another great day in the middle. With 47 raid points in the season, he has been a bit slow but would want to pull his socks up and come out on top at the end of this contest.

#3 Ankit vs Guman Singh

The last player battle on the list features Ankit, who will be at the center of the action tonight. He has so far picked up 19 tackle points with two Super Tackles to go with his name.

Up against him is Guman Singh, who hasn't fired on all cylinders for his new franchise. 75 points and three Super 10s to his name haven't quite lived up to the price tag he got at the auction. With about half the season gone, he would want to turn things around and lead Gujarat to the top half of the table.
