Devank vs Sanjay Dhull

Devank has been a revelation for Patna Pirates in PKL 11 and the lanky raider doesn’t seem to stop. He’s averaging an impressive 11.62 raid points per match with 74% of his raids being successful. Devank’s aggressive style has earned him 5 Super Raids and 5 Super 10s so far this season which make him a key asset for the team.

Sanjay is one of the best defenders in the league in PKL 11. The Defender, right cover playing in the right totals 20 tackle points and averages 2.42 successful tackles per match. He has also added 3 Super Tackles and 1 High 5 to his tally which proves his consistency and reliability in defense.

Deepak Singh vs Shivam Patare

Deepak Singh is one of the best defenders in the league. The Patna Pirates right cover has totalled 14 tackle points in 7 matches at an average of 2 tackle points per match in PKL 11 and has also contributed with three tackle points.

As far as Haryana Steelers goes, Shivam Patare has been the most successful raider for Steelers recently. The left raider brought in 16 points to the table in the last two matches and comes after scoring 9 raiding points against U Mumba. He has averaged 4.42 raiding points throughout the season and also chipped in with 1 tackle point in PKL 11.

Ankit Jaglan vs Mohammadreza Shadloui

Ankit Jaglan has seen a dip in form recently with the all-rounder managing just six points in the last three PKL 11 matches. He, however, has been the solid all-rounder for the Pirates throughout the season and has added 24 points, most of them coming from his defensive efforts. Jaglan has also made an impact with four super tackles and one High 5 to his credit.

On the other side, Mohammadreza Shadloui has emerged as one of the most valuable ones for the Manpreet Singh-coached side. Traditionally, the left corner would have been a very strong defender, but this season he added raiding skills to his portfolio also.

Fresh from a 99-tackle-point season with Puneri Paltan, Shadloui has carried the momentum forward into this season too, having already collected 40 points from seven PKL 11 games. His contributions are well-balanced, so far, with both 18 raid points and 22 tackle points to show for himself.

The battle of the all-rounders would determine this PKL 11 clash as Jaglan and Shadloui both possess the potency to alter the course of the game in favour of their team.
