The Tamil Thalaivas and the Haryana Steelers will square off in the 83rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Friday, November 29, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Thalaivas registered a crucial win over the UP Yoddhas last time out, beating them 40-26, despite losing captain Narender to an injury midway through the match. They'll hope it's nothing serious as they aim to take on the league leaders and generate momentum by winning two games in a row.
Meanwhile, the Steelers have dominated most of their opposition this season, and have won 11 out of 14 games, including four wins in their last five. They were last seen in a comfortable 38-28 triumph over the Puneri Paltan, where Shivam Patare starred with a Super 10.

TAM vs HAR Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 83
Raider - Shivam Patare
Shivam Patare is the in-form man in the raiding department for the Steelers. The left-raider comes into this match on the back of a Super 10 against the Puneri Paltan. He has scored 80 raid points and four tackle points in 14 appearances. Form-wise, he's the best Dream11 raider. Vinay and potentially Narender or Sachin could be decent alternatives.
Defender - Rahul Sethpal
Despite there being many solid Dream11 options like Sanjay, Sahil Gulia, Amirhossein Bastami, and even the Haryana captain Jaideep Dahiya, it's the Steelers' right-corner Rahul Sethpal who stands out as the best defender pick on paper.
His consistency has been second to none, and with 41 tackle points in 14 matches in his kitty, expect him to add more to the tally.
All-Rounder - Mohammadreza Shadloui/Nitesh Kumar
As I did in the reverse fixture, I'm placing both Mohammadreza Shadloui and Nitesh Kumar in the same bracket of Dream11 must-haves when it comes to team selection. The Iranian left-corner has 49 tackle points in 14 matches while Nitesh has 45 in 13, and both are among the top five defenders this season.
Shadloui also has an additional raiding threat about him, already scoring 34 raid points. They're the best Dream11 captaincy options in this match by a mile.

TAM vs HAR Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
While both teams have some exciting options to choose from, it's the Steelers that look like the stronger team on paper. Selecting at least four players from their starting 7 looks like a must in this fixture while keeping in mind Thalaivas' propensity to play well against the bigger teams.
Shadloui is the natural Dream11 captaincy option, with Nitesh Kumar the objectively best choice for vice-captaincy, although players like Rahul Sethpal, Sanjay, Shivam Patare, and Moein Shafaghi offer intriguing alternatives.
