Players to watch out for:

Nitin Rawal (Bengaluru Bulls) 

Nitin Rawal has been one of the most consistent defenders in PKL 11, standing out even during the Bengaluru Bulls’ challenging campaign. With 76 points in 21 matches, he has firmly established himself as a key player in the backline and currently sits among the top defenders of the season.

Averaging 3.14 successful tackles per match, Nitin has recorded five High 5s and eight Super Tackles, underlining his exceptional ability to deliver in pressure situations. With a tackle success rate of 53%, his defensive skill set and composure have been crucial for the Bulls.

Gagan Gowda (UP Yoddhas)

Surender Gill and Bharat Hooda’s dip in form forced UP Yoddhas’ coach, Jasveer Singh, to explore other options, and the decision to rely on Gagan Gowda and Bhavani Rajput as the team’s primary raiders has paid off. Gagan, in particular, has been a revelation, putting in some stellar performances this season. He has amassed 131 raid points in 16 matches, including six Super 10s.

At one point, Gagan was unstoppable, racking up 54 raid points in just four games. However, his impact has slightly waned in the last two outings. With the league now in its critical phase, every game is a must-win, and Gagan will be eager to bounce back to his best and light up the mat with his brilliant raiding once again.

Predicted Starting 7:

Bengaluru Bulls 

Pardeep Narwal, Sushil, Arulnanthababu, Parteek, Nitin Rawal, Jatin, Saurabh Nandal.
