TEL vs PUN Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - November 9, 2024

The Telugu Titans take on the Puneri Paltan in the 43rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Saturday, November 9, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.

The Titans will look to close their home leg out on a high, and having won four games already, a fifth victory against the defending champions will mean the world to their fans and take their campaign to the next level.

Meanwhile, the Paltan are on top of the points table and will look to maintain that position with another routine win here. However, they would do well to be wary of the Titans, who have put in some good performances with the backing of their home crowd.

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


#3 Ankit Jaglan (DEF) (TEL)

Telugu Titans' left corner Ankit Jaglan hasn't had the best of starts to Pro Kabaddi 2024 scoring only 10 tackle points in seven matches, and as a result, he is one of the least-owned players on Dream11 from this fixture.

However, his position is one of high significance and point-scoring capability. The Titans are in good form this season, and look much better defensively. And with them looking to put on a show in front of their home fans, they will fight hard against the Paltan.

The left corner will need to score points for that to happen, and while he is a risky pick, Ankit Jaglan is a player with a high points ceiling on Dream11.


#2 Akash Shinde (RAI) (PUN)

With Aslam Inamdar not in the team, Akash Shinde took up his starting spot as the lead left raider for the Paltan in their decimation of the Gujarat Giants, and Akash played a big part in that. He was their highest point-scorer in the match, scoring 11 raid points, with only two unsuccessful raids in the entire match.

Akash has made plenty of useful contributions for the Paltan since PKL 9, scoring 226 points for them across three seasons despite primarily featuring as a substitute. He has all the tools in his arsenal to trouble the Titans' defense and haul big as a Dream11 differential.


#1 Krishan Dhull (DEF) (TEL)

Krishan Dhull, the 2nd-highest point-scoring defender in PKL 10 where he played for the Patna Pirates, hasn't had the start he'd have wanted in Titans' colors. The right corner, who signed for the hosts for ₹70 Lakhs at the auction, has managed to score only 12 tackle points in seven matches so far.

His influence will, however, be crucial against Akash Shinde and potentially Aslam Inamdar, and he'll look to reproduce the High 5 he scored in the very first match against the Bengaluru Bulls. A player who scored 78 tackle points last season, Krishan is capable of much more than he has shown so far.

He's definitely a powerful Dream11 differential pick.
