PKL 10: Tamil Thalaivas Predicted Playing 7 Against Jaipur Pink Panthers

The Tamil Thalaivas, who spent INR 4.023 crore in the PKL 2023 auction, began the season 10 campaign with a convincing win over Dabang Delhi. In the current season, Thalaivas has played a total of 5 matches and are ready to take on defending champion Jaipur Pink Panthers on December 23 at SDAT Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Chennai. 

In the first game, Thalaivas defeated the season 8 champions, the Dabang Delhi franchise. The Thalaivas dominated the match from the start, winning by 11 points with a score of 42-31. After that, they faced a huge loss in the second match against the Bengal Warriors by 10 points and once again came back to winning ways in a close win against the Telugu Titans in their third match of the season.

In their most recent fixture, the Thalaivas again faced a huge loss by 13 points against the U Mumba franchise. Their next match is against the Jaipur Pink Panthers and how should their team looks like is as follows:

1. Center: Narender

Narender, the Tamil Thalaivas' top raider and most essential player, will play in that center position. Narender finished the previous edition with 243 raid points. Narender was the lone warrior with 10 points versus the U Mumba in their most recent match.

2. Left Cover: Mohit

Mohit, the Thalaivas' left cover defender, was retained as a Category C defender by the management. Mohit has not been able to create any impact as of now this season but the team has shown faith in him. He is expected to make a roaring comeback soon.

3. Right Cover: M. Abhishek

M. Abhishek, another Category C defender in the Tamil Thalaivas squad, will play in the right cover. Abhishek has been with Thalaivas for several seasons. In the most recent encounter, Abhishek failed miserably, scoring zero points.

4. Left Corner: Sahil Gulia

Sahil Gulia, a well-known personality in the Kabaddi world, particularly in the Pro Kabaddi League, will play in the left corner for his squad. Gulia was at his best in the last game against U Mumba, scoring five tackle points and performing exceptionally well.

5. Right Corner: Sagar Rathee

Sagar Rathee, the captain of the Tamil Thalaivas and their greatest defender, will handle the right corner duties for his team. Sagar did not have a fantastic start to the tournament, but he has improved and is coming off a sensational high-five in the last match.

6. Left In: Ajinkya Pawar

Ajinkya Pawar, the all-rounder, could not have asked for a better start to the PKL season 10. In the game versus Delhi, he had 18 raid points and 3 tackle points. Ajinkya Pawar scored seven points in the previous encounter.

7. Right In: Nitin Singh

Nitin Singh is a young, talented raider who will be playing in the place of Himanshu in this match. Nitin got a chance in the last match as well but failed to create much impact.

Predicted Starting 7 of the Tamil Thalaivas: Narender, Mohit, M. Abhishek, Sahil Gulia, Sagar Rathee (c), Ajinkya Pawar, and Nitin Singh. The Tamil Thalaivas will be desperate for a win in this match because they are in the second-last position in the standings and need to get themselves up on the ladder.
