The Tamil Thalaivas square off with the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the 113th match of PKL 11 on Sunday, December 15, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.
This is a must-win encounter for the Thalaivas if they aim to stay alive in the hunt for a playoffs' spot, with a loss likely to eliminate them from contention. After a disappointing 38-42 defeat to the Patna Pirates, they enter this fixture, although a return to form for star signing Sachin Tanwar was a positive sign.
Meanwhile, Jaipur comes into this one after enjoying a five-day break, beating the Gujarat Giants 42-29 in their previous outing. Arjun Deshwal was in fine form in the raiding department, with Ankush leading a solid defensive effort, scoring a High 5.

TAM vs JAI Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 113
Raider - Arjun Deshwal
Who else but Arjun Deshwal for the best Dream11 raider pick? The Raid Machine has been in pretty good form this season, and he's expected to kick on and do even better in the business end, with his team in a tricky playoffs battle. He's also one of the top captaincy options in this fixture.
Sachin Tanwar, who showed signs of returning to form in the Thalaivas' last fixture, could be an interesting differential.
Defender - Ankush
While not as prolific in point-scoring as he has been in previous seasons, Ankush is still Jaipur's best defender, and the left corner is the best Dream11 defender pick on paper. Ronak, Jaipur's right corner, could be an enticing differential option.
All-Rounder - Moein Shafaghi/ Reza Mirbagheri
Moein Shafaghi has been one of the few bright sparks for the Thalaivas this season, and has delivered consistent Dream11 returns since his debut, scoring 81 raid points and 10 tackle points in only 12 appearances.
His Iranian compatriot Reza Mirbagheri is another terrific Dream11 all-rounder. Jaipur's left cover always has an eye for the tackle and is one of the most successful Dream11 picks in PKL 11.
Both players are decent differential captaincy options for this fixture.
