PKL 12: Key player battles to watch out for in Match 28, Dabang Delhi vs Gujarat Giants

Dabang Delhi will look to maintain their unbeaten streak against Gujarat Giants in PKL 12.

Dabang Delhi will face Gujarat Giants in an exciting battle in the last match of the Vizag leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). It will be the battle between “Agent” Ashu and “Showstopper” Shadloui.

Dabang Delhi have been unbeaten so far this season with four consecutive wins, and they will be looking for their fifth successive win. Dabang Delhi are coming off a commanding win against Bengal Warriorz, with contributions from all the players. They will be hoping for a similar performance against Gujarat.

On the other hand, the Gujarat Giants are coming off a loss against Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Golden Raid. Gujarat would have been disappointed as they let go of the match from the winning position. They will be hoping for a fresh start against Delhi and would want their captain to perform against Delhi.

On that note, let’s take a look at the key battles to watch out for between the Dabang Delhi and Gujarat Giants in PKL 12.

Ashu Malik vs Mohammadreza Shadloui

The heart and soul of Dabang Delhi, Ashu Malik, has been in tremendous form this season. He is the main reason for Delhi’s winning streak. He has scored 61 raid points in 4 matches. The raider is looking unstoppable at the moment, and Gujarat desperately needs to stop Ashu in the clash.

The Talisman of Gujarat Giants, Shadloui, has not had a great tournament so far. He has scored just 5 tackle points in 4 matches. His form is a huge concern for Gujarat Giants, and they are desperate for Shadloui to get back in form. If Shadloui gets back in his form, he will single-handedly stop Delhi’s raider.

Ajinkya Pawar vs Nitin Panwar

One of the major problems of Delhi are the lack of support from the other raiders. However, this time they will have hopes from Ajinkya Pawar. He performed well in the last match, scoring 5 raid points. His footwork makes him unique, and he also adds a defensive performance to the team, which will be crucial for Delhi.

On the other hand, Nitin Panwar has been a game-changer for Gujarat Giants. He has been a key performer for Gujarat in the last two matches, and he is a threat to the raiders in the super tackle positions.

He has initiated 4 super tackles so far and is in blistering form. He would be the go-to defender for Gujarat to stop Delhi’s raider.

Fazel Atrachali vs Rakesh Sungroya

The “Sultan,” Fazel Atrachali, has been the best defender for Dabang Delhi. He has scored 10 points in 4 matches.

However, in the last game, he looked a bit off and will be looking for a comeback against his former team, the Gujarat Giants. His sharp ankle hold skills make him a threat to the opposition raider.

On the other hand, Rakesh has been consistently delivering for Gujarat in the raiding department this season. He is their best raider with 28 points in 4 matches. He scored 11 points in the last game and his first Super 10 of the season, and it will be crucial for Gujarat.
