The Bengaluru Bulls lock horns with Dabang Delhi KC in the first fixture of the Bengaluru leg of PKL 10 on Friday, December 8, at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium.
Both teams are winless so far, with the home side playing twice and losing close games against the Gujarat Giants and the Bengal Warriors. Bharat Hooda had a poor game against Bengal, but it was his brief period of resurgence in the second half that got Bengaluru into the game. However, their opponents simply held their nerve better.
As for Dabang Delhi, their defense was completely exposed against the raiding brilliance of Ajinkya Pawar. He almost single-handedly helped the Thalaivas cruise to a 42-31 win over Delhi, with Naveen Kumar's 14 raid points the only real positive from that match.

BLR vs DEL Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2023, Match 12
Raider - Naveen Kumar
Bharat hasn't really gotten going this season, and sharing his raids extensively with Vikash and Neeraj isn't helping. Naveen Kumar, on the other hand, did pick up a Super 10 in his side's defeat to the Thalaivas, and another Super 10 is all but guaranteed when he plays.
Defender - Aman
While Vishal may be the highest-scoring defender among those featuring in this match, the left-corner position of Aman gives him an edge over his teammate. Aman had a good opening game against the Giants, and despite making a few errors, he did pick up two tackle points against Bengal.
Expect him to continue his consistent point-scoring run.
All-Rounder - Ashu Malik
It's a close call between Neeraj and Ashu, but the latter is the better raider. Given Delhi's dependence on their raiding unit, Ashu is likely to put in more raids when compared to Neeraj and that does make him the better pick.

Neither side inspires confidence defensively. While the Bulls may at least have something going for them in that regard, the inexperience in Delhi's defense clearly showed against the Thalaivas. If not for a raiding masterclass from Naveen or Ashu, Delhi could get blown away by the Bulls.
That being said, Naveen Kumar is a better captaincy pick over Bharat on paper.
