JAI vs MUM Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match – December 5, 2024
The 94th match of Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 will feature Jaipur Pink Panthers (JAI) and U Mumba (MUM). It is a rematch of the inaugural season's final, where Jaipur beat U Mumba to become the first champions of PKL.
Both Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba are firm contenders to qualify for the Pro Kabaddi League playoffs in the ongoing season. The Pink Panthers are outside the top 6 of the standings right now, having earned 46 points from 15 matches. They have won eight matches so far.
On the other side, U Mumba have recorded nine wins in 15 matches. In the other six games, the Mumbai-based franchise have suffered five defeats and tied one match. One of their nine victories came against Jaipur Pink Panthers on October 31 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium.
The Jaipur-based franchise will be out for revenge against U Mumba tonight (December 5) at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Sports Complex. Before the Dream11 teams get locked in, here's a list of three players who fantasy users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their teams.
#1 Arjun Deshwal, Jaipur Pink Panthers
Jaipur Pink Panthers captain Arjun Deshwal has been the most reliable player for his team in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. The star raider has scored 162 raid points in 15 matches, and he has the most points among all Jaipur and U Mumba players in Season 11 so far.
It goes without saying that Arjun will be the most popular pick in fantasy contests for tonight's match. Also, the PKL stars generally perform well when playing against their former teams. Having played for U Mumba in the past, Deshwal will be keen to destroy his ex-franchise on the mat tonight.
#2 Sunil Kumar, U Mumba
For the first time in Pro Kabaddi League 2024, U Mumba captain Sunil Kumar produced a match-winning performance for his team in the defense while playing against Puneri Paltan on Tuesday evening. Sunil scored his first High 5 of the season to kick off the Pune leg in style.
Having returned to form, Sunil will try to continue in the same vein when he takes the mat against the Jaipur Pink Panthers tonight. Also, as mentioned earlier, PKL players have a great record against their former teams. Sunil will be up against his ex-franchise Jaipur at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Sports Complex.
#3 Ajit Ramesh Chouhan, U Mumba
Left raider Ajit Ramesh Chouhan was the architect of U Mumba's win against Puneri Paltan on Tuesday evening. His swift raiding helped him score a Super 10 at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Sports Complex.
Chouhan has been the most successful raider for U Mumba this season, which is why he will be the safest option for captaincy or vice-captaincy in tonight's Pro Kabaddi fantasy contests.
Plus, Ajit was the top-scorer for U Mumba in their previous battle against the Jaipur Pink Panthers. He scored 14 points in that game. Seven out of those 14 points were bonus points, showing that the Jaipur defense had no idea of how to stop the left raider.
