TAM vs TEL Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - November 6, 2024
The Tamil Thalaivas and the Telugu Titans meet in the 38th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Wednesday, November 6, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The two teams are on three wins apiece in six matches, but the Thalaivas find themselves in second place while the Titans are in ninth. The former have played two ties and lost one out of the remaining three games, while the Titans have lost three.
However, it's the Titans that come into this match with all the momentum, fresh off a 38-35 win over the Bengaluru Bulls that should've been of a much bigger margin. Meanwhile, the Thalaivas lost to the same Bengaluru Bulls team 32-36, and will be keen to return to winning ways.
Let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks going into this match.
#3 Anuj Gawade (RAI) (TAM) (9 Credits)
Tamil Thalaivas' third raider Anuj Gawade could prove to be the ultimate enabler for your Dream11 teams. Priced at only nine credits, getting him in as the seventh player on your team frees up enough funds to get pretty much everyone else you want.
While he's classified as a raider, the management has been using him as a defender, and he started the last match in the left cover position, scoring three tackle points as well. With seven tackle points in five appearances, he has done a decent job so far.
At his price, any performance he provides is a bonus, and if he can secure a couple of handy raid points along with what he does on the defensive front, he's a solid Dream11 surprise pick.
#2 Vijay Malik (ALL) (TEL) (12.5 Credits)
Once one of the most popular Dream11 picks from the Titans at the start of the season, the hype around Vijay Malik has died down since the advent of Ashish Narwal as the Titans' supporting raider.
Vijay Malik scored eight raid points and one tackle point for the Titans when these two sides met last season, but since then, he hasn't had the best of times, and he has only 26 raid points and two tackle points in six matches.
He does offer pretty good value for his price, and if he can manage to get even 5-6 touch points, that would be a good return for his Dream11 backers. An experienced campaigner at an affordable price and low ownership, Vijay Malik could be a useful Dream11 option.
#1 Sagar Sethpal (DEF) (TEL) (11.5 Credits)
Telugu Titans' right cover Sagar Sethpal started the season strongly, scoring five tackle points in two matches, and with his budget price making him a solid enabler, he was a very popular Dream11 pick. However, after adding only five more tackle points to his tally in the next four matches, he has become a less attractive option.
However, at 11.5 credits, he's the perfect price for a Dream11 enabler, and being the right cover, he does have a chance of recording a sizeable points haul in this match. Two out of the three Patna front-line raiders are right raiders, and while he's likely to be tagged by them multiple times, Sagar can also get a few tackles in, making him a player with a fairly high points ceiling for this match.
He could be a very useful Dream11 pick.
