The 87th match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 will start shortly at the Noida Indoor Stadium. It is a battle between Season 8 champions Dabang Delhi KC and Sachin Tanwar's Tamil Thalaivas.
Both teams are alive in the race to Pro Kabaddi League 2024 playoffs, but none of the two sides are in the top 6 of the standings at the moment. While Dabang Delhi KC hold the eighth position in the points table, the Tamil Thalaivas are right behind them in the ninth spot.
Shedding some more light on the two teams' performances in Pro Kabaddi League 2024, Dabang Delhi KC have played 14 matches, registering six wins, five defeats and three draws. They have 43 points to their name, and have not lost any of their last five matches.

On the other side, the Tamil Thalaivas have earned 33 points from 14 matches. The Chennai-based franchise have managed five victories, eight losses and one tie in their 14 outings. A defeat against Dabang Delhi KC tonight will reduce Tamil Thalaivas' chances of qualifying for the playoffs significantly.
Before the high-stakes match between Tamil Thalaivas and Dabang Delhi KC begins, here's a look at the three players who Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their respective teams.
#1 Ashu Malik, Dabang Delhi KC
Whenever Dabang Delhi KC participate in a Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match, their skipper Ashu Malik becomes an automatic pick in the fantasy teams. Malik has proven himself as the most consistent performer from the Delhi-based franchise.
The Delhi captain owns the third position on the raiders' leaderboard, having earned 159 raid points from 14 matches. He averages more than 10 raid points per match this season, showing that a Super 10 is always expected when Ashu Malik dons the Dabang Delhi KC jersey on the mat.
#2 Narender Hoshiyar Kandola, Tamil Thalaivas
Despite having the league's most expensive player Sachin Tanwar in their squad, the Tamil Thalaivas do not have any raider in the top 10 of the Most Raid Points list. Their best raider in PKL 2024 has been Narender Hoshiyar Kandola, who owns the 12th position on the raiders' leaderboard.
Narender has been a little inconsistent, but has still managed 82 raid points from 13 matches. While his average is nowhere close to Ashu Malik, Narender is the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests among all Tamil Thalaivas players.
#3 Nitesh Kumar, Tamil Thalaivas
Before Pro Kabaddi League 2024 began, Tamil Thalaivas fans expected Sagar Rathee, Sahil Gulia and M. Abishek to take responsibility, but Nitesh Kumar has emerged as the surprise package. The left corner specialist has already completed 50 tackle points in PKL 11.
He averages close to four tackle points per match, making him a reliable choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy. Also, the fact that Nitesh has the highest tackle points among all defenders playing in tonight's match shows that he is the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy if a fantasy player wishes to assign the role to a defender.
