The Telugu Titans (TEL) and the Gujarat Giants (GUJ) face off in the 111th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Saturday, December 14, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.
Pawan Sehrawat's return to the starting 7 wasn't enough for the Titans to overcome the in-form Dabang Delhi KC as they lost a match they had under control, doing just enough to reduce the margin of defeat to six points. Currently placed sixth on the points table with three matches remaining, the Titans need to be at their very best to guarantee themselves a place in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Giants have been playing for pride for a while now, and they come into this match on the back of a heavy 29-42 defeat at the hands of the Jaipur Pink Panthers. Expect them to come hard at the Titans and potentially spoil their chances of making the playoffs, as they have proven they can be a challenging team to take on when they get going.

TEL vs GUJ Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 111
Raider - Pawan Sehrawat
This is a tough category to select a player in, but ultimately, Pawan Sehrawat's PKL record and his form before he sustained an injury in PKL 11 makes him the Dream11 raider to watch out for. While he used himself sparingly as a raider against Delhi, Pawan looked pretty comfortable while doing so, and also showed a keen interest in going for tackles, which, while detrimental to the Titans, is great from a Dream11 perspective.
While the likes of Ashish Narwal and Guman Singh are really solid options as well, Pawan Sehrawat's points ceiling is far higher than those two players if he gets going.
Defender - Rohit
Defending hasn't been the Titans' strong suit, and they are the team with the least average tackle points/ match. That's why the best Dream11 defensive pick is Gujarat Giants' left corner Rohit. Against Pawan Sehrawat and Ashish Narwal, he'll be tested, but will also have the opportunity to rack up the points for his backers.
All-Rounder - Vijay Malik
Telugu Titans' raiding all-rounder Vijay Malik did a terrific job leading the team in Pawan Sehrawat's absence, also becoming a Dream11 must-have in the process. His 152 raid points makes him one of the top five raiders in PKL 11, and despite Pawan's return, expect Vijay to continue to haul big. He's one of the best captaincy options for this one as well.

TEL vs GUJ Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
The Titans are definitely the favorites to win this game with plenty at stake and a fully fit team at their disposal. While their defenders aren't the most reliable Dream1 options, their raiding trio more than makes up for it, and it's going to be hard to choose between them for captaincy.
Guman Singh and whoever starts at left corner will be the best picks from the Giants, with Rohit most likely to slot in for the latter.
