PUN vs UP Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match – November 19, 2024
Defending champions Puneri Paltan will lock horns with UP Yoddhas in the 63rd match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 tonight (Tuesday, November 19). Pune have struggled since their skipper Aslam Inamdar got injured. They have been winless in their last three matches.
UP Yoddhas have been quite inconsistent as well. The Uttar Pradesh-based franchise have won only four of their nine matches so far in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. However, the Yoddhas will be confident heading into this match because they beat the high-flying Telugu Titans side in their last game.
Without Aslam Inamdar, Puneri Paltan have not looked like the same champion team, and UP Yoddhas will be keen to take advantage of the opposition captain's absence. A win over Paltan can take the Yoddhas' confidence to a whole new level.
Before the contest between Puneri Paltan and UP Yoddhas starts, here's a glance at the three players whom Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain for their fantasy teams tonight.
PUN vs UP Dream11: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match
#1 Akash Shinde, Puneri Paltan
Rising star Akash Shinde was the top scorer for Puneri Paltan in their previous Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match against the Jaipur Pink Panthers. Playing against a top-quality side like Jaipur, Akash earned seven raid points, including one bonus point. He went in to raid 14 times, showing that the Paltan team management has enormous faith in his talent.
Overall, Akash has earned 41 points in eight matches this season. He has one Super 10 and one Super Raid to his name, along with one tackle point. If Akash brings his 'A' game to the table, he can be the game-changer in tonight's Dream11 contest.
#2 Bhavani Rajput, UP Yoddhas
Bhavani Rajput was the hero for the UP Yoddhas in their previous Pro Kabaddi League match against the Telugu Titans. The tall raider top-scored for the team with 12 points. He earned two bonus points, two tackle points, and eight touch points to help his side register a six-point win.
Considering how Bhavani Rajput produced a top-class all-round performance against the Telugu Titans, he will likely score big against Puneri Paltan tonight. It will be a challenging task to dominate the defending champions but expect Bhavani to light up the Noida Indoor Stadium with another fiery performance.
#3 Gaurav Khatri, Puneri Paltan
The number one defender of Pro Kabaddi League 2024, Gaurav Khatri should be an automatic pick in the fantasy teams. Khatri has earned 40 tackle points this season, giving sleepless nights to the opposition raiders.
Although Khatri is at the top of the defenders' leaderboard in PKL 11, quite a few Dream11 users will be skeptical about picking him as captain or vice-captain. The reason is that Khatri managed only three tackle points in his last game against the Jaipur Pink Panthers.
However, considering his overall performance in the season, Khatri can be picked as the captain or vice-captain in tonight's fantasy contest.
