Dabang Delhi KC v Puneri Paltan Match Preview: 

Dabang Delhi K.C. finished as the table-toppers in season 7 of the Pro Kabaddi League. While they stunned Bengaluru Bulls in the semi-finals, they were defeated by the #2 team on the table in the finals. The Delhi franchise will hope to replicate their last season’s performance and then better it in the finals. 

Puneri Paltan on the other hand had a forgetful season in the Pro Kabaddi League season 7, as they managed only 7 wins and 3 draws of their 23 matches and lost 13 matches. Consequently, they finished on the 10th spot in the points table. 

Dabang Delhi’s overpowered roster takes a slight edge on paper as the Puneri Paltan does have a lot of renowned faces in their camp. Coach Anup Kumar and captain Nitin Tomar are rewarded with another golden opportunity to prove their worth after having an average performance in season seven. 

Delhi’s Starting 7 looks set with big names on each position. Although coach Krishan Kumar Hooda will have to choose between Vijay Malik and Sushant Sail for the third raider spot and it will be a tough task as both contenders deserve the opportunity.

Dabang Delhi KC v Puneri Paltan Match Prediction:

Dabang Delhi KC will start off as favourites to win this match against Puneri Paltan. The Key Battle of this match will be between Delhi’s Ajay Thakur and Pune’s Rahul Chaudhari. In season seven, Ajay Thakur and Rahul Chaudhari were donning the kits of the same franchise. Rahul Chaudhari was brought to Tamil Thalaivas with the ultimate goal of forming a duo with captain Ajay Thakur. 

But unfortunately, Ajay Thakur suffered through an injury thus Rahul was left as a lone wolf in Thalaivas. Both raiders have gained legendary status in the Pro Kabaddi League. This mini-battle between former Tamil Thalaivas and Indian National teammates is a key reason for the hype of this encounter.
