Ever since their ascendancy in the land of Pro Kabaddi League last season, one which saw them make the qualifiers for the first time, Dabang Delhi K.C. have emerged as one of the most complete teams in the showpiece league. Bestowed with a well-rounded unit, Delhi made an advent into PKL 7 retaining their main bunch of players, something which has ended up serving them extremely fruitfully in this edition.
Winning their first three matches, the side fell to a defeat against Gujarat Fortunegiants but were quick to get back to winning ways. They ended up curtailing Jaipur Pink Panther’s unbeaten spree in the previous leg, coming out with a clinical 35-24 win to consolidate their position at top of the ranks, a win they’ll be looking to emanate when they take on a hungry Puneri Paltan outfit today.
After losing three successive matches, a torrid spree of results which saw them slumped in the dearth of the points tally, Puneri Paltan have managed to win two matches on the bounce. And it’s not just the wins but the manner in which they have come about which has infuse fresh life into the outfit, a resurgence the side will look to continue with when they take on the table toppers today.

Probable Winner
A major reason for Puneri Paltan’s rejuvenation has been their defence with Surjeet Singh and Girish Ernak finally showcasing the exuberant abilities they posses as defenders. It saw them register two emphatic wins over Patna Pirates and Gujarat Fortunegiants and the side will be turning to their defensive facet to help them triumph over Delhi as well.
What serves Delhi better in this encounter is not just their current form but the fact that the side are blessed with a raiding unit who have seamlessly blended grace with function. It’s an area they hold a massive edge over Paltan and should see them come out of this match with a win.

Defenders for DEL vs PUN Dream11
Having the best defensive record in the league, Delhi have seen the framework of their pristine success be built on an impeccable defensive unit, one which has allowed nothing to go through it. And with 14 tackles, left corner Joginder Singh Narwal has been the side’s highest tackler, seeing us bring him into our side.
He’s been assisted perfectly by Vishal Mane who comes in as well for us with Puneri Paltan still bereft of a complete raiding performance from their attacking facet. Elsewhere from Puneri Paltan who have gone in with Girish Maruti Ernak with him and Amit Kumar doing extremely well in defence for the side over the course of the last two matches, seeing Girish contribute 10 tackle points on his own.

He’s not lived upto his capabilities in the attacking side of things but with 12 tackle points, Manjeet has emerged as the most successful defender for his side. He’s brought in the arm-chain tackles extremely quick, stifling the raiders of any kind of space to nail them down in their raids to perfection.

Where Delhi’s defence has been pinch perfect, their raiding segment has been even more impeccable. The side are blessed with an incredible set of raiders, something which was epitomised in their previous encounter when Naveen Kumar and Chandran Ranjit who ended up scoring super 10s. They gave away just three tackle points to Jaipur as Naveen went onto get 12 points while Ranjit scored 10 points, 6 of them coming in a single super raid.
Both are selected by us while we have Amit Kumar be picked out from Paltan. It was a decision between him and Pawan but we have opted for him due to him picking up 10 raid points along with 5 tackle points in the previous encounter.
