Gujarat Giants will square off against Bengaluru Bulls in the sixth Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match tonight (Sunday, October 20). It is a rematch of the sixth season's final, where Bengaluru had defeated Gujarat.

While a lot of time has passed since that game, Randhir Singh Sehrawat continues to be the coach of the Bengaluru Bulls team. He has assembled a stellar squad for the Bulls this year, but his team lost their season opener against the Telugu Titans on Friday evening (October 18).

On the other hand, Gujarat Giants coach Ram Mehar Singh has made some huge changes to his squad after failing to win PKL 10. Experienced players like Fazel Atrachali and Rohit Gulia are no longer a part of the Gujarat team, who have some fresh faces like Guman Singh, Neeraj Kumar, and Himanshu Singh.

Before the new-look Gujarat outfit takes on their rivals Bengaluru Bulls, here's a look at the three players Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain for the fantasy contests.


#1 Guman Singh - Gujarat Giants

Considering the money Gujarat Giants coach Ram Mehar Singh spent on Guman Singh at the Pro Kabaddi 2024 Auction, it is likely that he will lead the team's raid attack this season. Guman had a decent season with U Mumba in PKL 10, earning 168 points in 18 matches.

However, fans were surprised to see the Gujarat Giants spend ₹1.97 crore to acquire his services at the auction. Guman Singh will be under pressure to justify his massive price tag. It will be interesting to see if he can repay the faith shown by the coach and the team owners.


#2 Neeraj Kumar - Gujarat Giants

Former Patna Pirates skipper Neeraj Kumar has reunited with Ram Mehar Singh at the Gujarat Giants this season. Ram Mehar knows how to bring the best out of Neeraj, who is coming after an ordinary season with the Patna-based franchise in PKL 10.

Neeraj's performance depends a lot on his confidence. If he gets a couple of successful tackles in the first few minutes, he can score six to seven tackle points. He could be a smart choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in the fantasy contests for this Pro Kabaddi fixture.


#3 Pardeep Narwal - Bengaluru Bulls

The 'Record Breaker' Pardeep Narwal is the best choice for captaincy from the Bengaluru Bulls team. Pardeep owns the number one position on the all-time list of most raid points in Pro Kabaddi.

Although Pardeep was not in the best touch during the season opener against the Telugu Titans, he can be backed to perform well against the Gujarat Giants tonight. At the post-match press conference of the first game, Bengaluru coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat said that he will continue to back Pardeep and bring the best out of him.

Looking at the past success that Randhir has achieved with his Pro Kabaddi players, it seems to be just a matter of time before Pardeep regains his golden touch in the Bulls jersey.
