BLR vs DEL Dream11 : Two stalwarts get ready to take the showpiece league by aplomb in the first semi-final today
This is it. Everything which fathomed in the previous three months in the marquee Pro Kabaddi League all boils down to this stage as PKL 7 gets ready to play out its final three encounters. The two semi-finals slated for today followed by the summit clash on Saturday will give us the winners of the seventh edition of a league which has reached gargantuan heights across the global level this year.
The second most watched league in the country, the home grown sport has titillated and enthralled ardent onlookers with the engrossing nature of the matches this time around being one which was never envisaged before. It increases the stature of what Dabang Delhi K.C. were able to achieve in the league stages with the side from the capital emerging as the most emphatic and profound side to sit atop of the points tally.
Earning direct qualification into the semi-finals by finishing with 85 points in their kitty, Delhi have undoubtedly been the most well rounded, complete and a sublime finished product this season. It’s not just the touch the side were in across the length of the prestigious league but rather the consistency they were able to imbed in place which sees them enter today’s encounter as overwhelming favourites.
Elsewhere, Bengaluru Bulls showed they are more than just pushovers as well with an edge of the seat thriller win over U.P. Yoddha in the first eliminator. In a clash which couldn’t be decided at the end of the 40 minutes and had to be extended, last year’s winner ended up scampering to a 48-45, showing composure which they’ll be looking to emote against a behemoth opposition come today.

BLR vs DEL Dream11 Defenders
U.P. Yoddha failed to nail down Pawan Kumar Sehrawat but come Dabang Delhi K.C. and the raider himself will be aware that things are not going to be so straightforward for him. This will be a clash where Delhi’s all round display in the defensive department will come to the fore with the side knowing once Pawan is curtailed, Bengaluru Bulls have little else to offer in the way of a challenge.
This sees us bring in a duo of players from Dabang Delhi K.C., beginning with their top scoring raider, Ravinder Pahal who has 59 tackle points from 21 encounters along with Anil Kumar who has picked up 33 points. We have the one player come in from Bengaluru Bulls as well with their captain Mahender Singh our choice for this with the defender having taken 58 tackle points in 20 matches till now.
BLR vs DEL Dream11 All-Rounders
With Chandran Ranjit being inconstant towards the closing ends of the league stage encounters, Delhi have turned to Vijay to become their secondary raider and the all-rounder has delivered as well. He’s shown his mettle and affinity to pull off well cued and precise raids to pick up 43 raid points, seeing him become our sole option for this segment.
BLR vs DEL Dream11 Raiders
The real gold quarry of this department, we ended up splashing a staggering amount on this component of our side given the roles both the primary raiders have for their outfits. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat has been largely responsible in Bengaluru Bulls progress this till stage with the raider leading the ranks of raiders with 321 points from 23 encounters.
U.P. Yoddha completely failed to curtail him in his raiding efforts and his side will be ardently wishing he can put in a display reminiscent of that performance against Delhi as well. Elsewhere from Delhi we are bringing in Naveen Kumar who has taken 268 raid points from 21 clashes along with snagging a magnitude of super 10s. Neeraj Narwal comes in as well for us with the raider getting some time on the mat recently.
Captain And Vice-Captain
We have decided to venture in with Vijay as our side’s captain for this one while Pawan is the vice-captain.
