The Revenge Week of Pro Kabaddi 2024 will continue tonight in Noida with a battle between two-time champions Jaipur Pink Panthers and Jasveer Singh-coached UP Yoddhas. The two sides clashed earlier this month in Hyderabad, where Jaipur won 33-30.
Shedding some more light on the previous battle between Jaipur Pink Panthers and UP Yoddhas, Neeraj Narwal was the game-changer for Jaipur in that game. The Jaipur raider scored nine points against the Yoddhas to help his Pro Kabaddi franchise emerge victorious by a margin of three points.
UP Yoddhas skipper Sumit Sangwan scored five points for his team, but his efforts came in a losing cause. Sumit will hope that his teammates can provide better support tonight and help the Yoddhas take revenge against the Pink Panthers.
The match between Yoddhas and Pink Panthers will begin at 8pm IST. Before the game begins, here's a look at three players Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their respective teams.
#1 Gagan Gowda, UP Yoddhas
In the absence of Surender Gill, Gagan Gowda has taken responsibility of the UP Yoddhas' raid attack along with Bhavani Rajput and Bharat Hooda. In the Yoddhas' last match against the Tamil Thalaivas, Gagan was the top-scorer, with eight points to his name.
Both Bharat and Bhavani failed to get going as they managed a combined total of just five points. It will be a risky move to select either Bharat or Bhavani as captain or vice-captain in the Dream11 contests tonight. Gagan is the safer choice because he is in good form and could make a significant difference in the Yoddhas' raid unit tonight.
#2 Sumit Sangwan, UP Yoddhas
UP Yoddhas skipper Sumit Sangwan has been the most consistent defender for his team. Playing in the left corner position, Sumit has earned 42 tackle points in 13 matches of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 so far.
Sumit was in phenomenal touch during the Yoddhas' previous match against the Jaipur Pink Panthers as well. He earned four tackle points and one bonus point that night versus Jaipur. If he improves his performance slightly, he could end up scoring a lot of fantasy points in the Dream11 contests for tonight's Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match.
#3 Arjun Deshwal, Jaipur Pink Panthers
Although Jaipur Pink Panthers skipper Arjun Deshwal had an off day during his team's last match against the UP Yoddhas, he is still the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy among all Jaipur players. Arjun is third on the raiders' leaderboard at the moment, having scored 147 raid points from 13 matches.
He managed only five raid points against the UP Yoddhas in Hyderabad, but in his last outing on the mat, Arjun destroyed the Puneri Paltan defense by scoring 16 raid points. 13 of those 16 points were touch points, showing that the stellar defense of Pune was clueless against Arjun.
Notably, Arjun got tackled only once in 24 raids against Pune. His confidence will be sky high after that game, and he could score another Super 10 tonight in Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
