DEL vs GUJ Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - November 20, 2024
The Dabang Delhi KC and the Gujarat Giants will square off in the 65th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Wednesday, November 20, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Dabang Delhi KC has racked up five wins and defeats each in 11 games this season, and have three wins and a tie in their last five matches. Their last outing was a 35-25 win over the Bengaluru Bulls, with Ashu Malik and Yogesh leading them in the raiding and defensive departments, respectively.
The Giants, meanwhile, have been in poor form, winning only two out of 10 matches in PKL 11. They were last seen in a 24-32 defeat to the Jaipur Pink Panthers and they'll hope that their four-day break will help them regroup and begin a more positive run of matches.
Let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this fixture.
#3 Rohit (DEF) (GUJ)
Gujarat Giants' left cover defender Rohit could be a valuable Dream11 surprise pick for this match. With Balaji D not providing the required returns and Rohit consistently outperforming him coming off the bench, the latter is likely to get his name on the starting lineup for this match.
With seven tackle points in five appearances this season, Rohit already has a decent record for a left cover defender, especially when you consider he has mostly come on as a substitute. Against left raiders like Vinay and any other options Delhi might have on the bench, he could be crucial for the Gujarat defense.
While not a proven pick, he could be a useful Dream11 surprise pick.
#2 Gaurav Chillar (DEF) (DEL)
Gaurav Chillar in the Delhi right cover could be a useful Dream11 differential option for this fixture. He has scored five tackle points in three appearances so far, and against a struggling raiding unit, he could boost his tackle points tally this season.
He would be boosted by his performance in Delhi's 38-38 tie with the Puneri Paltan against whom he scored three tackle points. With his ownership and budget on the lower side, he could be a handy Dream11 surprise pick.
#1 Parteek Dahiya (ALL) (GUJ)
Expected to be one of their lead raiders alongside Guman Singh, Parteek Dahiya has had a disappointing season, to say the least. It's high time he joins the party for the Giants if they want to remain alive in contention for the playoffs. With 27 raid points and eight tackle points in 10 matches, these numbers are nowhere close to his true point-scoring potential.
Against an inconsistent team like the Dabang Delhi, the opportunity remains for Parteek to have a good day in the raiding department, with his skill and talent backed up by his solid PKL record. He could be a high-risk, high-reward Dream11 differential in this match.
