Three-time champions Patna Pirates will clash against Jasveer Singh-coached UP Yoddhas in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 tonight (Sunday, November 24). It is the 74th game of PKL Season 11 and the second of the Revenge Week.
Patna and Yoddhas clashed on November 2 during the Hyderabad leg of the tournament. Devank Dalal's 11 points helped the Patna-based franchise win that contest 42-37.
The Yoddhas will be out for revenge when they battle the Pirates at the Noida Indoor Stadium. Talking about the Yoddhas' recent form, they crushed the Tamil Thalaivas in their previous outing. On the other side, Patna also defeated the Bengaluru Bulls in a lopsided encounter in their last game.
Both teams are in top form, which is why fans should expect a cracker of a contest. Before the Patna Pirates vs UP Yoddhas match begins, here's a list of three players whom Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their teams.
PAT vs UP Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League match
#1 Devank Dalal, Patna Pirates
Devank Dalal is a new talent unearthed by Patna Pirates in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. He has been the breakout star of the season, standing second on the raiders leaderboard with 131 raid points from 11 matches.
In the last match against the Bengaluru Bulls, Devank scored 16 points for the Pirates. He will enter tonight's game with a lot of confidence. Although UP Yoddhas' defense is stronger than the Bulls' tackling department, Devank should score big once again.
Devank top-scored with 11 raid points when Patna battled the Yoddhas earlier this season.
#2 Ayan Lohchab, Patna Pirates
Another exciting young talent unearthed by Patna to feature on this list is Ayan Lohchab. The left-raider scored nine points the last time Patna locked horns with the UP Yoddhas.
Apart from that, Ayan also scored a Super 10 in Patna's last match against the Bengaluru Bulls. He seemed unstoppable against the Pardeep Narwal-led outfit as he scored 10 touch points, one bonus point, and one tackle point. Overall, Ayan has earned 94 points from 11 matches.
Picking the duo of Devank and Ayan as captain and vice-captain can be a smart move in the Pro Kabaddi fantasy contest tonight.
#3 Bhavani Rajput, UP Yoddhas
Tall raider Bhavani Rajput has been the X-factor for the UP Yoddhas in their last few Pro Kabaddi matches. He scored 12 points against the Telugu Titans and followed it up with a Super 10 against the Tamil Thalaivas. The new-found confidence of Bhavani has helped him lead the Yoddhas' raid unit in the absence of Surender Gill.
Coach Jasveer Singh has shown enormous faith in Bhavani, and he will continue doing the same now that the raider is returning with positive results. Bhavani should go in for the maximum raids for the Yoddhas, meaning he will have the highest chance of scoring points for the team. He will be a safe choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in today's Pro Kabaddi fantasy contest.
