UP vs BLR Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League Match – October 22, 2024
Bengaluru Bulls will play their third match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 tonight (Tuesday, October 22) against the UP Yoddhas. The Bulls have suffered back-to-back defeats in their first two matches, and they will be keen to avoid a hat-trick of losses tonight.
On the other side, the UP Yoddhas prevailed over former champions Dabang Delhi KC in a low-scoring thriller last night. The Yoddhas will aim to continue in the same vein and register their second victory of the new Pro Kabaddi League season.
This match will see Bharat Hooda go up against his former team Bengaluru Bulls for the first time. Previously, Bharat played for the Bulls in all the PKL seasons of his career. Meanwhile, Pardeep Narwal will lead the Bulls against his former franchise UP Yoddhas. Pardeep was with the Yoddhas in the last three Pro Kabaddi League seasons.
With an exciting match on the cards, here's a look at three players whom Dream11 users can consider picking as the captain or vice-captain of their fantasy teams in tonight's contest.
#1 Pardeep Narwal, Bengaluru Bulls
Players generally tend to perform well against their former teams in the Pro Kabaddi League, and the same could happen tonight when Pardeep Narwal raids against the UP Yoddhas. Pardeep showed signs of returning to form in the previous game against the Gujarat Giants, where he became the first raider to complete 1,700 raid points in Pro Kabaddi history.
Even coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat said in the post-match press conference that Pardeep has peaked and that it was just a matter of time before he scored big Super 10s like before. It should not be a surprise if Pardeep returns to his golden form tonight and destroys his former team at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium.
#2 Surender Gill, UP Yoddhas
Despite having so much experience, Bengaluru Bulls' defense has committed too many errors in this season already. Coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat was furious with his team's senior defenders after the defeat against the Gujarat Giants.
UP Yoddhas captain Surender Gill can take advantage of the out of form Bengaluru defense and score heaps of points. Gill could not get going against Dabang Delhi KC yesterday, but he is a talented raider. If Gill gets into the groove, he can single-handedly destroy the Bulls defense tonight.
#3 Sahul Kumar, UP Yoddhas
Sahul Kumar has replaced Nitesh Kumar as UP Yoddhas' first-choice right corner defender in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. Playing his first match for the Yoddhas last night, Sahul showed why he deserves to play in Nitesh's place by scoring six tackle points.
It was almost impossible for the Dabang Delhi KC raiders to stop Sahul from executing successful tackles. Tonight, Sahul will have the responsibility to keep the likes of Pardeep Narwal and Ajinkya Pawar silent.
UP Yoddhas' coach Jasveer Singh has worked with Pardeep in the last few seasons. Perhaps, Jasveer can use that knowledge and guide Sahul about how to exploit The Record Breaker's weaknesses. Sahul can be a smart pick for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests tonight.
