PUN vs DEL Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Pro Kabaddi League Match – December 18, 2023

The 30th match in the Pune Leg of Pro Kabaddi 2023 will witness the home team Puneri Paltan clash with Dabang Delhi K.C. Both teams are currently in good form while Puneri Paltan has an extra edge of playing in front of their home crowd.

Puneri Paltan will look to maximize their wins here while Dabang Delhi K.C. has to carry forward the same winning momentum as their previous match against Telugu Titans. With the Naveen Express being at his usual best, Dabang Delhi K.C. will look to dominate the clash and gain the crucial points.

With Mohit Goyat being a great support for Aslam in the raiding department, we saw both of them inflicting a Super 10 in their previous encounter against Bengal Warriors. We also saw the corner defender Gaurav chipping in with five tackle points in the previous match.

For Dabang Delhi K.C. with Naveen, Ashu Malik has been in great form as they both again inflicted a Super 10 in their previous match against the Telugu Titans. Their defense will have to improve and they would expect Mohit to step up to give them balance in both departments.

On that note, let's have a look at three players who can be vital choices for your squad’s captaincy or vice-captaincy picks in the PUN vs DEL clash.
