Tamil Thalaivas vs Gujarat Giants Match Preview: 

Tamil Thalaivas are in the seventh position in the PKL season 8 points table with 30 points against their name. Thalaivas have managed to register three wins, two losses, while the rest of the five matches ended in a draw. Tamil Thalaivas’ last encounter, against Jaipur Pink Panthers, also ended in a 31-31 draw.

On the other hand, Gujarat Giants are placed tenth on the points table with 23 points in 10 matches. Giants have registered two wins, five losses and three draws in the games they’ve played till now in this season. Gujarat Giants are also coming into this match with a 24-24 draw against U Mumba in their last match. 

Tamil Thalaivas’ raider Manjeet Dahiya should have avoided the error in the decisive last raid of the game against Jaipur Pink Panthers. Thalaivas’ coach J Udaykumar would have given him some tips and tactics to improvise as Thalaivas had to settle for sharing the points with Pink Panthers. Thalaivas’ vice-captain K Prapanjan left the court in the early minutes of the match due to an injury. Ajinkya Pawar is most likely to replace him in the starting 7 today.

Gujarat Giants are coming in action today after a thrilling low-scoring draw against rivals U Mumba. Even though star left corner Girish Maruti Ernak has recovered and was on the mat in the last match, Ravinder Pahal is still out of action. Ajay Kumar was given a surprising spot in the starting 7 as he ended up being Giants’ top scorer in their last fixture.
