MUM vs TAM Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match – December 11, 2024
U Mumba will face Tamil Thalaivas in the 106th Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match on Wednesday, December 11. The game will begin at 9 pm IST, and the Badminton Hall at Balewadi Sports Complex will host the contest.
This game is crucial for both teams in the race for the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 playoffs. U Mumba are fifth in the points table. The Mumbai-based franchise have won nine matches but suffered a one-point defeat at the hands of Gujarat Giants in their last game.
Tamil Thalaivas, meanwhile, are ninth, having registered six victories in 16 matches. Interestingly, the Thalaivas crushed the Gujarat Giants in their previous outing. They will aim to replicate that performance when they take on U Mumba in the 106th Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match.
Before the Dream11 teams are locked in for U Mumba vs Tamil Thalaivas match, here's a look at the three players who can be picked as captain or vice-captain of fantasy teams.
#1 Ajit Ramesh Chouhan, U Mumba
U Mumba's left raider Ajit Ramesh Chouhan has the most raid points in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 among all players of both squads. Ajit holds the fourth position on the overall raiders' leaderboard with 143 raid points in 17 matches.
It has been difficult for the opposition defenders to keep Ajit under control. In the last match against the Gujarat Giants, Ajit top-scored for U Mumba by earning 14 points. Ten out of the 14 points were touch points, showing that the Gujarat defense regularly committed errors when Ajit came to raid.
Fans should expect a similar performance from the U Mumba raider against the Tamil Thalaivas.
#2 Nitesh Kumar, Tamil Thalaivas
While left raider Ajit Ramesh Chouhan will be the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy among all raiders, the safest option among the defenders will be Tamil Thalaivas left corner Nitesh Kumar. The Thalaivas defender is sixth in the Most Tackle Points list of Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
Playing on the left side of the defense, Nitesh has proven to be a nightmare for the opponents. The left-corner specialist has scored 52 tackle points in 16 matches. His average is more than three tackle points per game, which makes him a reliable option for Dream11 captaincy or vice-captaincy.
#3 Moein Safaghi, Tamil Thalaivas
Tamil Thalaivas played without Sachin Tanwar and Narender Hoshiyar Kandola against the Gujarat Giants. Still, the Chennai-based franchise won the match 40-27. The hero for the Thalaivas in that game was Moein Safaghi.
The Iranian star has been a game-changer for the Tamil Thalaivas in recent matches of Pro Kabaddi League 2024. Talking about his performance against Gujarat Giants, Safaghi scored 13 raid points, including 11 touch points. Moein got tackled only thrice in 17 raids.
He will enter the mat against U Mumba with a ton of confidence. If Moein scores points in his initial raids, he could destroy the Mumbai-based franchise.
