PKL 10: How Playing 7 of Gujarat Giants Should Look For Their First Away Match of the Season Against Jaipur Pink Panthers

The Gujarat Giants, the home side, are off to an incredible start in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 competition. The club appears to be playing as a cohesive one after winning its first three games in a row. When Patna Pirates defeated them in their fourth meeting of the year, they applied brakes to their incredible campaign. Now, on Monday, December 11, 2023, at 8:00 PM IST, the Giants will play their first away game of the season against the Jaipur Pink Panthers.

While Rakesh has been raiding brilliantly, Fazel Atrachali is performing to the best of his abilities. However, Sonu Jaglan—who the administration decided to retain as a Category C raider—has been the true star for the Gujarat Giants. Their anticipated starting lineup for the game against the Jaipur Pink Panthers is as below:

1. Center: Rakesh

In this game, Gujarat Giants' top raider, Rakesh, will play in the center position on the kabaddi mat. This season, he has been playing in excellent form. Rakesh was Gujarat's top raider with 11 points in their most recent game versus the Pirates.

2. Left Cover: Mohammad Nabibakhsh

We anticipate Iranian all-rounder Mohammad Nabibakhsh, a superb player on the Kabaddi mat, will be in the left cover position for the Gujarat franchise, despite the fact that Arkam Shaikh occupied this spot in the previous game.

3. Right Cover: Sourav Gulia

Wearing the Gujarat shirt, Sourav Gulia, a talented defender, will be in the right cover position. Sourav Gulia, who had a rough start to the competition, turned in a fantastic performance in the last game against the Pirates, grabbing four tackle points.

4. Left Corner: Fazel Atrachali

Fazel Atrachali, the leader of the Gujarat Giants team and the Sultan of Kabaddi, has got the season off to a great start. In addition to his eight tackle points, Fazel scored a raid point during the game against the Mumbai team. In the previous game, Fazel was unable to score any points.

5. Right Corner: Sombir

One of the top defenders from PKL season 9, Sombir, has continued his success from the previous season in season 10. In just four games, Sombir already has thirteen tackle points to his name. Sombir maintained his form and earned a spectacular high-five in the fourth game as well.

6. Left In: Rohit Gulia

Rohit Gulia, an all-rounder who often plays as a raider, has performed admirably for the squad. Gulia only managed two points in the previous game because he was out of form, but we anticipate that he will be better in this one.

7. Right In: Sonu Jaglan

We expected Sonu Jaglan to be a part of the starting 7 in the last match but the coach had other plans. It is highly likely that he will be a part of the starting 7 in this match playing as the second raider to Rakesh.

Predicted Starting 7 of the Gujarat Giants against the Patna Pirates: Rakesh, Mohammad Nabibakhsh, Sourav Gulia, Fazel Atrachali (c), Sombir, Rohit Gulia, and Sonu Jaglan. The Gujarat Giants will be once again the favorites in their match against the Jaipur Pink Panthers to get their fourth win of the tournament.
