The Puneri Paltan (PUN) and the Jaipur Pink Panthers (JAI) face off in the 75th match of PKL 11 on Monday, November 25, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Paltan returned to winning ways, breaking a four-game winless run by registering a dominant win over the Bengal Warriorz yesterday (November 24). They won 51-34, riding on a solid raiding performance and a High 5 from Mohit Khaler in their left corner.
Meanwhile, the Jaipur Pink Panthers have lost their last two matches to the Haryana Steelers and Dabang Delhi KC by a huge margin, and facing the Paltan next will be a really tough proposition for Arjun and Co. Their defense was in shambles in their 30-43 defeat to the Steelers and they need to quickly buck up if they want to stand a chance in this fixture.

PUN vs JAI Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 75
Raider - Arjun Deshwal
With the Paltan raiders splitting the points between them in every match, Arjun Deshwal is clearly the top Dream11 choice for this fixture. Even with his team struggling, Arjun single-handedly reduced their defeat margin against the Steelers, scoring a whopping 16 raid points.
Expect him to score another Super 10, regardless of how his team performs.
Defender - Mohit Khaler
Despite the small sample space, Mohit Khaler has done an impressive job filling in as the left corner for the Paltan, replacing the inconsistent Aman in the starting 7, scoring nine tackle points in only two matches, outscoring Gaurav Khatri in that period.
Given that Jaipur's main raiding threat comes from the right raiders who'll match-up directly with Mohit on the Paltan left, he is the Dream11 defender to keep an eye on for this one.
All-Rounder - Abinesh Nadarajan
It's a straight battle between two cover defenders classified as all-rounders in Abinesh Nadarajan and Reza Mirbagheri, and based on form and the quality of the teams on paper, Abinesh edges Reza out. The Paltan right cover matches up well with the Jaipur raiding unit, and he should add to his considerable tackle point tally in this game.

PUN vs JAI Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
The Puneri Paltan are the better team on paper going into this match, especially with the Jaipur defense in poor form, but considering their PKL record, it's hard to ignore the likes of Reza Mirbagheri, Ankush, or Surjeet Singh in our Dream11 teams.
One of Mohit Goyat and Akash Shinde are must-haves, with Pankaj Mohite not in good form as those two, with the Pune corners essential. While Gaurav Khatri has been the default Dream11 captaincy option whenever the Paltan play, Mohit could be a handy differential in this one.
