TEAMS PREVIEW

Gujarat Giants Preview

The Gujarat Giants, a team with significant potential that often underperforms in crucial matches, embark on another season in pursuit of their elusive maiden Pro Kabaddi League title. Ram Meher Singh, a three-time title-winning coach, has infused new life into the Giants with his aggressive coaching style and unwavering support for young players. This season, they have parted ways with some senior players and signed the rising star Guman Singh, who finished eighth in the league last season with 163 raid points. 

They also have the powerful Parteek Dahiya (130 raid points) and the swift Rakesh Sangorya (108 raid points) in their raiding department. These three talented young raiders are expected to make a significant impact. On defense, Neeraj Kumar joins the cover position, while the experienced Iranian all-rounder Mohammed Esmail Nabibaksh provides versatility to the Giants' lineup. In terms of statistics, the Giants averaged 18.34 raid points and 10.80 tackle points per game last season. Their largest winning margin was 22 points against the Bulls, where they dominated with a 28-50 victory.

Gujarat Giants Probable Starting 7 - Guman Singh, Parteek Dahiya, Rakesh Sangroya, Neeraj Kumar, Manuj, Sombir, Mohammed Esmail Nabibakhsh

Bengaluru Bulls Preview

The Bengaluru Bulls got off to a disappointing start to their campaign, losing to the Telugu Titans 37-29 in their first match of the season. Their raiding department struggled, with their main raider, Pardeep Narwal, failing to score and finishing the game with just 2 touch and 1 bonus point. Another raider, Ajinkya Pawar, who had high expectations, managed to score only 1 bonus point. The cover defender Surjeet Singh was a bright spot, finishing with 5 tackle points. The new corner combination of Saurabh Nanadal and Nitin Rawal combined for 6 tackle points, and another cover defender, Patreek, also had a good outing with 2 tackle points.

Overall, the Bulls finished with 14 tackle points but were significantly hampered by their raiding, managing only 13 raid points. Pardeep Narwal, who has been out of form in recent seasons, needs to regain his confidence and is expected to perform strongly against the Giants. As both corner defenders of the Giants are inexperienced, coach Randhir Singh Sherawat is likely to employ a 3-2-2 formation, featuring two left and one right raider in the starting seven.

Bengaluru Bulls Probable Starting 7 - Pardeep Narwal, Ajinkya Pawar, Sushil, Sourabh Nandal, Nitin Rawal, Surinder Singh, Parteek
