Players to watch out for:

Surender Gill (UP Yoddhas) 

UP Yoddhas captain Surender Gill has seamlessly taken over the raiding mantle following Pardeep Narwal’s departure. Gill has stepped up with confidence, forming a promising partnership with all-rounder Bharat Hooda and consistently putting points on the board. After a slow start in the opening match against Delhi, he bounced back with a standout performance, scoring 17 points in the Yoddhas’ victory over the Bulls. Currently, he’s the team’s second-highest scorer with 25 points across four games.

Gill’s raiding stats highlight his efficiency: he’s completed 45 raids with a success rate of 46.66% and maintains a solid “Not Out” rate of 75.55%. With 21 raid points and one Super 10, he’s averaging 5.25 raid points per game. On the defensive side, he’s made his mark with one Super Tackle, a 75% tackle success rate, and four tackle points.

Mohammedreza Shadloui (Haryana Steelers)

After a stellar PKL 10 season with Puneri Paltan, where Mohammadreza Chiyaneh racked up an impressive 99 tackle points, the Iranian defensive ace has moved to the Haryana Steelers for a record INR 2.07 crore. The Steelers are counting on Chiyaneh’s defensive mastery to bolster their backline in PKL 11, but his start has been a bit more restrained than expected.

In his debut match against Dabang Delhi, Chiyaneh secured 4 tackle points with a respectable 60% success rate, though he didn’t contribute offensively. Over his first three matches this season, he’s accumulated a total of 10 tackle points, averaging 3 successful tackles per game and achieving a 47% tackle success rate.

His lone Super Tackle so far hints at the impactful plays he’s known for, even though his transition hasn’t included the standout defensive displays that have defined his PKL career. Offensively, Chiyaneh has added 6 raid points from 15 attempts, maintaining a 40% success rate.

Predicted starting 7:

UP Yoddhas

Surender Gill, Heiderali Ekrami, Sahul Kumar, Sumit Sangwan, Ashu Singh, Mahender Singh, Bharat Hooda.
