PUN vs BLR Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match – December 13, 2024
Defending champions Puneri Paltan will face 12th-placed Bengaluru Bulls in the 110th Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match. The game will start on Friday, December 13, at 9 pm IST in Pune.
Puneri Paltan started their Pro Kabaddi League 2024 with some stellar performances, but they have not been the same team after their captain Aslam Inamdar got injured. The change in coaching staff hasn't helped the team either as they have suffered eight defeats already this season.
On the other side, Bengaluru Bulls have had one of their worst Pro Kabaddi League seasons. The Bulls sit 12th in the points table, having registered only two victories in 18 matches. Their score difference of -156 shows how disappointing their performance has been in PKL 11.
Nevertheless, the Bulls have an opportunity to spoil Paltan's party. Before the battle between Pune and Bengaluru starts, here's a list of three players Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain.
#1 Nitin Rawal - Bengaluru Bulls
While the Bengaluru Bulls own the last position in the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 points table, their all-rounder Nitin Rawal is at the top of the defenders' leaderboard. Playing in the left corner position, Nitin has earned 65 tackle points in 18 matches.
Although there hasn't been much support from the other Bengaluru Bulls defenders, Nitin Rawal has fought like a one-man army and hunted down the opposition raiders. He has proven why he is one of the best all-rounders in the kabaddi world.
Puneri Paltan's raiders have not fired in unison in recent Pro Kabaddi League 2024 matches. Hence, Nitin will have an opportunity to score in the upcoming match.
#2 Mohit Goyat - Puneri Paltan
An all-rounder like Mohit Goyat is always a reliable option for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests. Mohit has not been at his best in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 but has done well in patches.
In Puneri Paltan's previous match against Dabang Delhi KC, Mohit emerged as the top-scorer for his team. The all-rounder scored four raid points and three tackle points to end the match with seven points to his name.
If he can replicate that performance against Bengaluru Bulls, he can be a solid choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in the Dream11 teams.
#3 Pardeep Narwal - Bengaluru Bulls
The most successful raider of all time in Pro Kabaddi League history, Pardeep Narwal has been inconsistent in the Bengaluru Bulls jersey this season. When Narwal gets going, he scores Super 10s, but when it isn't his day, he struggles to score even a single point.
Picking Pardeep Narwal as captain or vice-captain in fantasy teams will be a high-risk move. In the last match against the Haryana Steelers, Pardeep managed only one point and got substituted midway through the game.
However, in the game before that, Pardeep scored 14 raid points against the Bengal Warriorz. Hence, selecting Pardeep as captain or vice-captain is a risk worth taking.
