Tamil Thalaivas will face off against the three-time champions Patna Pirates on Friday (October 25) in what promises to be an exciting clash at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Thalaivas have had a stellar start to Pro Kabaddi League Season 11, riding high on consecutive wins and solid form. With raiders like Sachin and Narender Kandola leading the attack, and a sturdy defensive lineup featuring Sagar, Sahil and Nitesh Kumar, the team has shown a well-rounded balance of strength on both ends of the mat.
Their newly appointed coach, Dharmaraj Cheralathan, has brought valuable experience and strategic insight into the team, helping them build a cohesive unit with well-structured plays and a sharp defense.

The Thalaivas are currently one of the most in-form teams, and with their consistent teamwork, they aim to extend their winning streak and continue dominating the season.
On the other hand, the Patna Pirates are in a transitional phase with a largely revamped squad this season. They suffered a defeat in their opening game against Puneri Paltan, indicating that the new unit is still finding its rhythm.
Patna's lineup includes several new faces and young talents, which, while promising, may lack the experience required to handle pressure situations. The Pirates will be looking to find their footing against a formidable Thalaivas team.
PKL 2024, Tamil Thalaivas vs Patna Pirates Prediction: Can the Pirates upset Tamil Thalaivas?
In PKL history, the Patna Pirates lead the head-to-head record against Tamil Thalaivas with seven wins out of 14 encounters.
However, recent form suggests this match may swing in favor of the Thalaivas. Patna, with 0 points from a loss in their only game, currently sit at the bottom of the points table, struggling to find cohesion in their revamped squad. In contrast, the Thalaivas have shown impressive form, winning both games this season and claiming 10 points to sit comfortably at fourth.
Adding to the intrigue is Sachin Tanwar, a former Pirate now with the Thalaivas, whose experience could be a key factor. With their balanced attack and solid defense, Tamil Thalaivas seem well-poised to secure another victory.
