The UP Yoddhas (UP) will lock horns with the Bengaluru Bulls (BLR) in the 23rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2022 on Sunday, October 16, at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru.
Both sides come into this game on the back of defeats. It was a tough pill to swallow for the UP Yoddhas and Surender Gill as they allowed Dabang Delhi to make a massive second-half comeback and take the game 44-42, despite having a sizeable lead at half-time. Surender's sensational 21-point haul was in vain.
Meanwhile, the Bulls were well beaten by the Bengal Warriors in their last outing, with the cover combination of Mayur Kadam and Mahender Singh failing to score a single point.

UP vs BLR Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Match 23
Raider - Surender Gill
After his mammoth 21-point haul in the last match, it's no surprise that Surender Gill is on this list. He's well and truly UP's lead raider and should have the raid points to show for it.
Defender - Saurabh Nandal
The Bulls' left corner Saurabh Nandal has arguably been the team's best defender in the last two seasons. He's started well this time around as well and should carry on in the same vein.
All-rounder - Ashu Singh
Listed as an all-rounder on Dream11, UP right cover Ashu Singh has made a stellar start to the season. He's notched up 12 tackle points in three matches, with an average of four points per match that's brilliant for a cover defender.
UP vs BLR Match Captain/Vice-Captain Choices
Surender Gill
As elaborated before, Gill is probably the best Dream11 option in this match based on current form and should be the first-choice captaincy pick.
Bharat
Young Bharat has looked a more dangerous raider than marquee signing Vikash Khandola and could be a decent differential captaincy option for those looking for one.
