The UP Yoddhas (UP) take on the Tamil Thalaivas (TAM) in the 77th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Tuesday, November 26, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Yoddhas have picked up 18 points out of a possible 20 in their last four outings and are in terrific form heading into this game. Their last fixture was a nervy 44-42 win over the Patna Pirates, with super-sub Gagan Gowda's Super 10 helping them get over the line.
Meanwhile, the Thalaivas are 10 points behind the Yoddhas on the points table, and with only four wins to their name this season, they'll want to start winning soon if they still harbor hopes of making the playoffs.

Let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this fixture.
#3 Gagan Gowda (RAI) (UP)
The Yoddhas have struggled with the decision of who to name as the third raider in their starting 7 to support Bhavani Rajput and Bharat Hooda for quite a while now, with Keshav Kumar getting an extended rope in the team.
However, someone who already stepped up on multiple occasions this season, Gagan Gowda, did so once again in their last outing against the Pirates when he scored a match-winning Super 10, with zero unsuccessful raids to his name! That was enough to earn him a spot in the starting 7 for this one.
The tall right raider has scored 37 raid points and seven appearances this season and looks set for more in this fixture and could be a powerful Dream11 differential.
#2 Moein Shafaghi (ALL) (TAM)
The Iranian all-rounder Moein Shafaghi stepped up and scored some crucial points for the Thalaivas when they most needed them, but he was inexplicably benched a few games later. Post the defeat to the Yoddhas a few days ago, the Thalaivas have recalled him into the starting 7.
In six appearances, he has scored 24 raid points, most of them touch points, also contributing six tackle points, boosting his Dream11 points potential. A great utility option for his team and a solid Dream11 differential whenever he has started matches, Moein is a player to keep an eye on in this fixture.
#1 Sahil Gulia (DEF) (TAM)
After a considerable amount of matches on the bench, the Thalaivas' captain Sahil Gulia returns to the starting 7, reclaiming his left corner position from Nitesh Kumar, who should go back to being a floater across the defensive line. One of the best defenders in the league, it was a surprise to see Sahil benched for quite a few games in a row after some bad outings, but his points potential is there for everyone to see.
He has still scored 25 tackle points in nine matches, a solid number, and fresh after days of rest, expect him to be really effective throughout this match. A top quality left corner like him with differential level ownership is very rare to see and Sahil Gulia is a Dream11 must-have for this fixture.
