PAT vs TAM Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - October 25, 2024

The Patna Pirates (PAT) will take on the Tamil Thalaivas (TAM) in the 15th match of PKL 11 on Friday, October 25, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.

The three-time champions Patna will be searching for their first win of the season after getting comfortably trounced by the Puneri Paltan 40-25 in their last match. They'll look to the youngsters in their raiding department to step up and support their solid defense.

Meanwhile, the Thalaivas have made a stellar start, winning two out of two game so far, with the most recent of them being a convincing 35-30 win over the Puneri Paltan. They'll definitely back themselves to down the Pirates, and the battle between the in-form Thalaivas' raiders and the Patna defense should make for a great watch.

On that note, let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks.


#3 Ayan Lohchab (RAI) (PAT)

Young Patna raider Ayan Lohchab could be a solid Dream11 surprise pick for this match. The entire Patna raiding unit is filled with lesser-known youngsters, with Sudhakar M, Sandeep Kumar, and Meetu the only recognized names. Jang Kun Lee is also likely to make a few sub appearances.

However, in their opening fixture, with the entire team struggling to score raid points, Ayan had a relatively solid game, scoring five touch points against a mercurial Pune defense. While he also had eight unsuccessful raids, he does seem to possess the quality and technical ability to thrive at this well.

For those looking for a really left-field punt, Ayan could be your option.


#2 Deepak Singh (DEF) (PAT)

Patna right cover defender Deepak Singh could be a neat Dream11 surprise pick for this match. The powerful defender lit the league up with his performances for the Gujarat Giants, including a stunning nine tackle points in one match against the Telugu Titans last season.

His overall numbers of 43 tackle points in only 14 matches last season prompted the Pirates to go after him at the auction. He made a decent start to his stint at the Pirates, scoring two tackle points against the Puneri Paltan. An aggressive defender like him who initiates plenty of tackles could be a solid Dream11 option for this match.


#1 Amirhossein Bastami (DEF) (TAM)

The Tamil Thalaivas' right corner Amirhossein Bastami should start this match as well in the absence of captain Sagar Rathee. Against a Patna Pirates raiding unit that was all at sea in their opening fixture, Bastami could really haul big in this match.

Quite a few of the Patna raiders are left raiders, and the effect that had on the match was evident, with Gaurav Khatri picking up another High 5 in that match on the Pune right. Bastami plays for the better team on paper, has a very high ceiling, and also comes at a very affordable price of 11 credits.

He is undoubtedly the best Dream11 surprise pick going into this one.
