Pro Kabaddi: Gujarat Giants v/s Dabang Delhi – Preview, Expected 7, Live Streaming, Players to Watch out, Head to Head, Key Battle
All you need to know about match 81 of PKL 2021 between Gujarat Giants and Dabang Delhi.
Girish Ernak and Naveen Goyat
The Gujarat Giants return to the mat after a long hiatus to take on the Dabang Delhi in match 81 of PKL 2021. 11 matches played by them is the least anyone has played this season so far.
Strategic Takeaways
The Gujarat Giants have been struggling to find any sort of momentum this season, thanks to the inconsistency of their defence. They find themselves lagging at the second last points in the points table, despite some terrific performances from their novice raiding duo of Rakesh and Rakesh.
The Dabangs, on the other hand, started strongly but seem to be losing their steam off late. The injury to Naveen Goyat is still a big concern as they have won just 2 of their last five matches. Further with captain Joginder Narwal injured and Ajay Thakur ruled out of the season, the onus now lays on veterans Sandeep Narwal and Manjeet Chillar to get their campaign back on track.
Head to Head
The Giants have dominated the head to head encounters against the Dabangs since their entry into PKL. In fact, the last meeting between the two ended in a low-scoring tie as the Giants came from behind to share the spoils.
