PUN vs PAT Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for Puneri Paltan vs Patna Pirates Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 8

The Puneri Paltan go up against the Patna Pirates in the second match of a PKL 11 double-header on Monday, October 21, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.

Paltan, the defending champions began their campaign with a commanding 35-25 win over the PKL 10 runners-up Haryana Steelers on Saturday. The void left by Mohammadreza Chiyaneh in the left corner was quickly filled by Aman, who seemed assured and confident in the position, picking up four tackle points.

The raiders didn't enjoy the best of games but Gaurav Khatri in the right corner made up for that with an outstanding individual performance, scoring seven tackle points.

The Pirates will start their campaign with tonight's challenging fixture after going through quite a makeover ahead of PKL 11. They were beaten by the Paltan in the semi-finals last season, and they've released both their best performers in Sachin Tanwar and Krishan Dhull.

Narender Redhu has opted to build a team around a solid defensive core, with Shubham Shinde set to lead the Pirates this season, supported by a young raiding unit led by Sandeep Kumar and Sudhakar M.

This should be an interesting fixture between the defending champions and the three-time PKL winners.

PUN vs PAT Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 8

Raider - Mohit Goyat

Mohit Goyat is the top Dream11 raiding option, primarily because it's unclear who the lead raider will be for the Pirates. They have one of the weakest raiding units on paper in the league, and while Sudhakar M and Sandeep Kumar are promising options, it's best to play it safe with the proven performer, Mohit Goyat, in this one, with Pankaj Mohite another option.

---

Defender - Gaurav Khatri

Gaurav Khatri was in brilliant form against the Haryana Steelers. The right corner scored a whopping seven tackle points and led Paltan's charge in that match. Against an inexperienced Patna raiding unit that does have a few left raiders, Gaurav could make merry and record another Dream11 haul.

---

All-Rounder - Ankit Jaglan

Ankit Jaglan was one of Patna's best players last season. The left-corner defender scored 66 tackle points in 23 matches and was one of their most consistent players. Classified as an all-rounder, he's a Dream11 must-have for this match.

PUN vs PAT Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024

This is a fairly easy game to set a team for. Patna's defense is strong but we know little about their raiders, so it's best to hold off on them, with Sudhakar M the only viable option as of now. However, the likes of Ankit Jaglan, Shubham Shinde, and Gurdeep are quality Dream11 options.

The Paltan will undoubtedly be the favorites, though, and picking a minimum of four players from their team is a must, with both their corners looking deadly. It's best to back the defenders and all-rounders in this match for Dream11 captaincy, with the raiders yet to inspire any confidence in them.
