The Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 will begin tonight (Friday, October 18) in Hyderabad where home team Telugu Titans will take on former champions Bengaluru Bulls in the opening contest. Both teams had forgettable outings last season as neither made it to the playoffs.
Talking about the Telugu Titans' performance, they took the wooden spoon home once again as they won only two matches in 22 outings. On the other hand, the Bengaluru Bulls finished eighth on the points table, having registered eight victories in 22 games.
Both sides have made massive changes in their squads this year. While big names like Krishan Dhull and Vijay Malik have joined the Titans, the Bulls roped in match-winners like Pardeep Narwal and Ajinkya Pawar at the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 auction.
Before the first game of the new season gets underway, here's a look at the three players Dream11 users can select as captain or vice-captain in their fantasy teams tonight.
TEL vs BLR: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain in Pro Kabaddi League Match 1
#1 Pawan Sehrawat, Telugu Titans
It goes without saying that Pawan Sehrawat is the biggest match-winner in the Telugu Titans team. He fought like a one-man army for the Titans last year, scoring more than 200 points for the team.
Sehrawat achieved the unique feat of recording a Super 10 and a High 5 in the same match last season. Considering that he is the most experienced player in the Titans squad for Season 11 and the team's captain, he will be the first choice from the team to be the captain or vice-captain in fantasy battles.
#2 Pardeep Narwal, Bengaluru Bulls
It is a 'War of Stars' in Hyderabad tonight as Pawan Sehrawat's Telugu Titans will clash against Pardeep Narwal's Bengaluru Bulls. The two stalwarts are the captains of their respective franchises, and both know how to lead their teams from the front.
Pawan is the best option for fantasy captaincy from the Titans team. Similarly, from the Bulls squad, Pardeep is the most reliable player. He has a habit of recording Super 10s in almost every game he plays. Plus, he owns the record for the most raid points by a player in Pro Kabaddi League history, showing that the opposition defenders often find it difficult to keep him quiet.
Under coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat's guidance, Pardeep can set the stage on fire tonight against the Telugu Titans.
#3 Krishan Dhull, Telugu Titans
Right-corner defender Krishan Dhull earned the most tackle points among all Indian defenders in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10. Representing the Patna Pirates, Dhull earned 78 tackle points from 24 matches.
It was surprising to see the Pirates release him and not use the FBM card as well. Telugu Titans took advantage of it and roped in Krishan ahead of the new season.
Titans' defense leaked a lot of points last season, but with Krishan in charge as the right corner now, it will be challenging for the opposition raiders to score points. Krishan recorded six High 5s in 24 games of Pro Kabaddi League last season.
