The UP Yoddhas and the Telugu Titans face off in the 53rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, November 14. The Noida Indoor Stadium will host the encounter.
A team with four defeats on the trot, the UP Yoddhas will want to return to winning ways in front of their home fans. In their previous outing against U Mumba, they lost 33-35 from a winning position, losing their nerve at a crucial juncture.
Meanwhile, the Telugu Titans are in a complete opposite run of form. They have won their last four matches, including a stunning 34-33 triumph over the Puneri Paltan on the final day of their home leg.

UP vs TEL Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 53
Raider - Pawan Sehrawat
Much like how Ashu Malik has been delivering in every game since Naveen Kumar's injury last season, Pawan Sehrawat has been consistent for quite a while now for the Titans, especially this season. He looks confident this year and has scored 88 raid points in eight matches so far. Another Super 10 looks likely for him in this game.
Defender - Sumit
Sumit is the best defender option on Dream11 by a mile. Despite the presence of Himesh, his partner on the right, Sumit is clear and is one of the best captaincy options as well. With 29 tackle points in eight matches, he could very well get a High 5 in this match.
All-Rounder - Bharat Hooda
Bharat Hooda is the pick of the Dream11 all-rounders available for selection. He's likely to put in the bulk of the raids for them, and with 64 raid points in eight matches already, he should comfortably add more points to that tally.

UP vs TEL Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
As interested as one can be in selecting raiders other than Pawan Sehrawat and Ashish Narwal, it's tough to back any raiding option barring Bharat Hooda from the UP Yoddhas, with the powerhouse raider himself classified as an all-rounder.
It seems better to back the defenders in this match, and while most of them barring Sumit haven't been consistent enough, they do have a high points ceiling going into this match. In terms of captaincy, Bharat, Sumit, and Pawan Sehrawat are the standout picks.
