Pro Kabaddi is on the brink of producing yet another stupendous record when Dabang Delhi take on Patna Pirates in the 66th match of this season.
Delhi’s superfast Naveen Kumar, aka ‘Naveen Express’, has scored 8 consecutive super 10s this season, and is now within touching distance from the record for most consecutive super 10s in Pro Kabaddi.
What’s interesting is the fact that if Naveen manges to break the record, he will do that in front of Patna’s Pardeep Narwal, who currently holds this very record.
It is only fair to give equal credit to Delhi’s defense for their superb show so far. Corner defenders Ravinder Pahal and Joginder Narwal showed their class in the last game against U Mumba, by scoring 8 and 6 points respectively. That is more than what most of U Mumba’s raiders could manage.
Chandran Ranjit has assisted their attack well, and the presence of Meraj Sheykh further strengths it. Overall, Delhi have been quite brilliant this season.

Patna Pirates have been known for their consistency over the seasons of PKL. To see them reeling at the bottom of the table is a rare sight. But such have been their performances so far.
Apart from Pardeep’s brilliance, nothing really has gone Patna’s way. Their second best raider, Jang Kun Lee has been in and out of the team. Mohammad Esmaeil is a good player, but he has not proved to be the kind of raider who can win you matches.
Apart from the first few games, their defense has mostly been below average this season. With the likes of Jaideep and Hadi Oshtorak guarding the corners, one can expect a much better effort from this team.
Monu has served as a decent all-rounder, and may do even better if he gets more match time.

Predicted Starting 7s:
Dabang Delhi KC: Naveen Kumar, Chandran Ranjit, Meraj Sheykh, Vishal Mane, Anil Kumar, Joginder Narwal, Ravinder Pahal
Patna Pirates: Pardeep Narwal (C), Mohammad Esmaeil, Monu, Neeraj Kumar, Vikas Jaglan, Hadi Oshtorak, Jaideep
Match Prediction:
Dabang Delhi are on a roll and their confidence is sky high after a series of dominant victories. But they will be up against one of the biggest names in the sport- Pardeep Narwal.
Patna Pirates have repeatedly failed to provide assistance to Pardeep’s efforts, and that has led to the star raider spending most of his time off the court. Also, their defense must devise a plan to trap Naveen Kumar or else Patna might be staring at another big defeat.
