UP vs HAR Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for UP Yoddhas vs Haryana Steelers Pro Kabaddi 2023, Match 9
The UP Yoddhas go head-to-head with the Haryana Steelers in the 9th match of Pro Kabaddi 2023 on Wednesday, December 6, at The Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad.
A poor outing for Pardeep Narwal was the main feature in a 34-31 defeat for the Yoddhas in their first match of the season against U Mumba. Their captain only put in six raids, was tackled twice and subbed off before half-time.
While Anil Kumar deputized well from the bench, with Surender Gill and Vijay Malik also contributing a few points, it wasn't enough to make up for Pardeep's poor raiding. Defensively, their cover defenders had a good outing, but Sumit and Nitesh Kumar can certainly do much better.
As for the Steelers, they went after Pawan Sehrawat at the auction, but eventually, they were forced out of the bid and went for Siddharth Desai instead.
In Jaideep Dahiya and Mohit Nandal, their two captains, Haryana has one of the best cover combinations in the league, but that's about it. On paper, they are one of the weaker sides in the league, but could they punch above their weight?

UP vs HAR Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2023, Match 9
Raider - Surender Gill
This one is hard, especially considering the other names on the raiders' list, but after a dreadful outing for Pardeep and the unpredictability of Siddharth Desai, the ever-reliable Surender Gill can be counted on as the lead raider in your D11 teams.
Defender - Sumit
Solid left corner Sumit should receive maximum backing in this fixture. In Jaideep Dahiya, there is another quality defensive pick that is also a must-have, but Sumit's role as a left corner defender makes him that much more likely to score points than Jaideep, who's a left cover.
All-Rounder - Ashish
It was a surprise to see one of U Mumba's stars of last season, Ashish, go all the way to the Haryana Steelers, but he's set to be one of their main raiding threats for the season.
There are quite a few impressive all-rounders to choose from in this match, including Nitin Panwar, Gurdeep and Mohit Nandal, but these are all defending all-rounders while Ashish is a raiding one.

UP vs HAR Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2023
Pardeep Narwal will be a bone of contention during team selection for many, and his worrying display against U Mumba doesn't make him a must-have for this one. It's unlikely that he will put in a significantly improved performance from the opener, and it's better to back Surender Gill and Siddharth Desai instead.
Ashish could also be a very handy all-rounder to select.
