Vivo Pro Kabaddi will see Tamil Thalavas facing off against Bengaluru Bulls on Friday, 24 December 2021 at 20:30 PM IST
After an intense Delhi-Mumbai game, the focus will shift onto a southern derby with Bengaluru Bulls taking on the Tamil Thalaivas. While the Bulls went down against U Mumba, Tamil Thalaivas registered a tie. Both sides would be hoping to amend their results from their respective opening games. Bulls put in a poor show on the opening night and would be eager to turn things around and would be looking at their star players for inspiration.
Pawan Kumar Sehrawat: Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is among the top raiders in the competition and has the ability to win games by himself. He was the top raider last season with 346 raid points in 24 games played and top-scored the season before as well with 209 raid points. He wasnt at his best against U Mumba given the high standards he sets but he doesnt have too many off days and one can expect him to come out all guns blazing. He would be looking to outscore his tally of 12 from the opening game.
Chandran Ranjit: Chandran Ranjit played a brilliant role for last years runners-up Dabang Delhi, playing 2nd fiddle to Naveen Kumar and offering him enough rest without lowering the intensity. He provided the perfect foil to Sehrawat and outscored him by a point, registering 13 raid points.
Mahender Singh: Mahender Singh is the most experienced defender on the Bengaluru Bulls side and will have a huge responsibility on his shoulders. The cover defender had a quiet day in the last match and will be eager to make amends and get his tally for the season going.
Manjeet: Manjeet had a breakthrough season last time around as he played the role of an all-rounder for Puneri Paltan. He has started the season well, registering 12 raid points in the opening game, where he was the top scorer. He will be expected to deliver another top performance.
K Prapanjan: Prapanjan played second fiddle to Maninder Singh to near perfection last season and that seemed to be the case against Telugu Titans as well, where he supported Manjeet well. Prapanjan scored 6 raid points and while more will be expected of him, he had a decent outing.
Surjeet Singh: Surjeet Singh is the leader in the Thalaivas unit. The right-cover defender is a solid defender and made his experience count as he claimed 4 tackle points in the opening game. Thalaivas would need another solid performance from their experienced pro.
Pawan Kumar Sehrawat: Pawan Kumar Sehrawat can be unstoppable on his day and hed hope its one of those days as he looks to improve his performance from the opening night.
Manjeet: Manjeet would look to use his experience from last season and further improve upon his performance on the opening night. He is a dangerous campaigner and could cause Bengaluru Bulls a lot of trouble.
