The Tamil Thalaivas and the Haryana Steelers meet in the 83rd match of PKL 11 on Friday, November 29, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.

The Thalaivas registered a much-needed 40-26 win over the UP Yoddhas in their previous outing. They'll look to build on that and get some wind behind their sails as they aim to make a late push for the top half of the table.

Meanwhile, the Steelers will aim to put distance between themselves and the chasing pack and ensure a top-two finish in the group stage. A dominating 38-28 win over the Puneri Paltan in their last outing certainly helped that cause.

Let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this one.


#3 Ronak (ALL) (TAM)

Tamil Thalaivas' new starting right cover Ronak could be a solid Dream11 surprise pick in this fixture. The cover positions have been a real problem area for the Thalaivas. Their attempt to fix it worked in their previous outing against the UP Yoddhas. Ronak and Aashish were solid in defense, with the former scoring two tackle points.

Ronak is a fairly unproven player in the PKL, but he has been a part of the Thalaivas since last season, and was one of their retained players. While his four tackle points in as many appearances aren't the most appealing, he does look like a player with a high points ceiling.

While the risk is present, Ronak could be a solid Dream11 differential, especially if he starts well in this fixture.


#2 Naveen (ALL) (HAR)

Haryana Steelers' utility player and raiding all-rounder Naveen could be a handy inclusion in your Dream11 teams for this fixture. While the Steelers have tried many names to occupy the seventh starting position in their side such as Vishal Tate and Ghanshyam Magar, none have fit the bill as well as Naveen has.

In 11 appearances, he has contributed 16 raid points and 12 tackle points, stepping up whenever needed as a raider, and adding more steel and unpredictability to their defense. With Haryana the stronger team on paper, he could benefit from Dream11 points for enforcing all-outs, and could be a useful addition to your teams.


#1 Sachin Tanwar (RAI) (TAM)

Never did one think that the most expensive player at the PKL 11 Auction, Sachin Tanwar, would be in such a position, but the do-or-die raid specialist has struggled to leave a mark on this edition of the PKL. However, with his team battling it out to stay afloat in this competition, and with their primary raiding threat Narender potentially sidelined with an injury, it's time for Sachin to step up.

Sachin Tanwar's skills and PKL record speak for themselves, and from the outside, his numbers of 64 raid points and seven tackle points in eleven appearances aren't bad in isolation, but for a player of his caliber, he can certainly do better.

His high points ceiling and the fact that he's due a Dream11 haul make him a really enticing surprise pick ahead of this match.
