PKL 11: Tamil Thalaivas vs Puneri Paltan, Predicted 7, team news, head-to-head & free live stream

Puneri Paltan have kick-started PKL 11 with two consecutive wins.

A blockbuster of a contest awaits on a Wednesday evening as the defending champions Puneri Paltan will take on Tamil Thalaivas in the 11th match of season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 11). Both teams have got off to a winning start with Paltan winning against Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates, while Thalaivas beat their southern rivals Telugu Titans.

Paltan and the Thalaivas had the same strategy of retaining their core and bought players to fill in the slots. Having retained their defensive core in PKL 11, Thalaivas wanted to get a quality raider in the Auction. They spent big bucks to get Sachin Tanwar. The 25-year-old made his debut with a super-10 and his raiding in tandem with Narender has been a joy to watch.

Pune has been flawless in PKL 11 with two comfortable victories. The only spot left open from the title-triumphing season was the left corner position which the season’s best defender Mohammedreza Shadloui occupied.

The Paltan bought the likes of Mohit Khaler and Aman for the spot. It was the latter who was picked in the starting seven and has scored 10 points in two games as the team is set to dominate again.

Players to watch out for

Tamil Thalaivas

Narender Hosiyar seems to continue his form in PKL 11 with a super 10 against Telugu Titans. He has done well and would like to repeat it with another impressive performance to break the four-match winning streak of Paltan against the Thalaivas.

While Narender is the trump card for Thalaivas, Gaurav Khatri for Puneri Paltan will look to stop the Dubki Prince. The right corner defender is off to a rollicking start with 13 points from two games in PKL 11. He will lead the defence once again to stop the raiding duo of Thalaivas.
