Pro Kabaddi 2024, JAI vs TAM: Preview, probable starting 7s, prediction, and live-streaming details for Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Tamil Thalaivas
The Jaipur Pink Panthers and the Tamil Thalaivas lock horns in the 19th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 on October 27. This eagerly awaited encounter will take place at Hyderabad’s Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, with both teams aiming to bounce back after recent losses.
Jaipur Pink Panthers, two-time PKL champions, currently sit in fifth place on the points table, having secured two wins and one loss in their first three games, totaling 10 points. They had a strong start to the season, registering back-to-back wins against the Bengal Warriors and the Telugu Titans. Key to these victories was the impressive form of their captain and star raider, Arjun Deshwal, who scored Super 10s in both games.
However, Jaipur’s over-reliance on Deshwal was exposed in their last match against the Haryana Steelers, where they suffered a significant 37-25 defeat. Deshwal managed only three points, while the rest of the squad struggled to contribute, with their defense registering just six tackle points.
Jaipur will need to rally as a team and support Deshwal if they are to secure a win against a well-balanced Tamil Thalaivas side.
The Tamil Thalaivas, sitting third in the points table with an identical record to Jaipur (two wins and one loss, 11 points), also had a promising start to PKL 2024. They kicked off with a victory over the Telugu Titans and followed it up by upsetting defending champions Puneri Paltan.
Despite taking an early lead in their last match against the Patna Pirates, they eventually lost 42-40. Star raider Narender shone with 15 raid points, but a lack of consistent support and loose defending saw them concede a five-point halftime lead.
Patna’s raider Devank proved to be the thorn in Thalaivas’ defense, racking up 25 raid points, which became the deciding factor. Tamil Thalaivas will look to strengthen their defense and bring a balanced performance to challenge Jaipur.

Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Tamil Thalaivas Match Prediction
Both teams are entering this match with similar records and recent losses, which should make for a closely fought encounter. Jaipur’s dependency on Deshwal may leave them vulnerable if the Tamil Thalaivas can contain him.
However, Jaipur’s defensive lineup is strong and could have the edge if they can hold off Narender and capitalize on Tamil Thalaivas’ defensive lapses.
Prediction: Jaipur Pink Panthers might edge out Tamil Thalaivas, but it could be a narrow victory.
