Former champions U Mumba will play their 10th match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 against the Tamil Thalaivas tonight (Thursday, November 14). Noida Indoor Stadium will host this fixture, which will begin at 9 pm IST.
U Mumba have been brilliant in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. The Mumbai-based franchise have recorded five wins in nine matches and hold the third position on the points table.
On the other side, the Tamil Thalaivas have managed three wins from eight matches. The Chennai-based franchise hold the ninth position in the standings.
Talking about the recent form of the two teams, U Mumba have won three of their last five matches, while the Thalaivas are on a three-match losing streak. Looking at their recent performances, U Mumba will start as favorites to win tonight.
Before the Dream11 teams are locked in for the battle between Tamil Thalaivas and U Mumba, here's a list of three players fantasy users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their teams.
#1 Narender Hoshiyar Kandola, Tamil Thalaivas
Known for his swift raiding skills, Narender Hoshiyar Kandola has been the top raider for the Tamil Thalaivas in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. Narender has outshone Sachin Tanwar, the most expensive player at this year's auction.
Narender has scored 63 raid points in eight matches, with his average being 7.87 raid points per game. Narender has three Super 10s to his name, and he has also executed a Super Raid.
Expect Narender to light up the Noida Indoor Stadium with a spectacular performance against U Mumba in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 tonight.
#2 Ajit Ramesh Chouhan, U Mumba
While Narender Kandola has been the number one raider for Tamil Thalaivas, Ajit Ramesh Chouhan has bagged the maximum raid points for U Mumba in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 so far. Ajit has earned 83 raid points from nine matches at a fantastic raid strike rate of 68.59%.
The left raider has four Super 10s and four Super Raids to his name in PKL 11. Considering how the defenders of other teams have struggled to keep him down, it should not be a surprise if Ajit ends up scoring big in tonight's Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match.
#3 Sahil Gulia, Tamil Thalaivas
Not a single defender from U Mumba and Tamil Thalaivas is present in the Top 10 of the Most Tackle Points list this season. Thalaivas' left-corner defender Sahil Gulia has scored the highest tackle points among the defenders playing tonight. He has earned 25 tackle points in eight matches.
The absence of right-corner Sagar Rathee has hurt the Thalaivas a lot but Sahil has stepped up and delivered the goods in the left corner. Sahil's tackle strike rate of 86% makes him a top pick for captaincy or vice-captaincy in tonight's Pro Kabaddi League Dream11 contests. For the record, he has also registered two High 5s and three super tackles this season.
