Tamil Thalaivas will face Puneri Paltan in match 11 of the PKL season 11 on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. The match is scheduled to be played at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Tamil Thalaivas are off to a good start, winning their first match of the season against the Telugu Titans 29-44. On the flip side, Puneri Paltan started on a winning note, winning both their matches, with the recent one being a 40-25 win over the Patna Pirates. The Thalaivas are currently placed third with one win, while the Puneri Paltan are placed first with two wins in two matches.
In their head-to-head record, the Puneri Paltan hold an advantage over the Tamil Thalaivas, winning 6 out of 11 matches. The Thalaivas have won 3 matches, and the other two matches ended in ties. Puneri Paltan has won four of their last five matches against the Thalaivas, with their most recent victory being 29-56.
After a disappointing Season 10, the Tamil Thalaivas are off to a resounding start, winning their first match of the season against the Telugu Titans 29-44. They ticked all the boxes in raiding and defense. Under new head coach Dharmaraj Cherlathan, the Thalaivas look like a completely different unit. Sachin, in his first game of the season, scored 10 raid touch points, as did Narender Hoshiyar, who also finished with 10 raid points.
Both these raiders registered Super 10s. On the defensive end, Sahil Gulia, who was one of the top five defenders last season, made an immediate impact with his ankle and thigh holds. He finished the game with a high 5. Right cover defender M Abhishek also stepped up and scored 4 tackle points. The team's captain, Sagar Rathee, had a decent outing with three tackle points. Every player performed exceptionally well, and they look like a strong unit to beat.
In terms of statistics, the Thalaivas are averaging 20 raid points and 16 tackle points per game. The Thalaivas, on average, scored 32 points per game in the last five matches against the Paltans. This season, Sachin and Narender are averaging 10 raid points per game, and Sahil Gulia is averaging 5 tackle points per game.
Tamil Thalaivas Probable Starting 7 - Sachin Tanwar, Narendar, Nitesh Kumar, Sagar Rathee, Sahil Gulia, Abhishek Manoharan, Himanshu
If there is one team that is looking unstoppable, it is the Puneri Paltan, a team that started their juggernaut since Season 9 and, after winning the title in Season 10, are off to a superb start this season with two wins. Their latest win was against the Patna Pirates 40-25. A complete all-round performance once again from the Paltan's. Aman set the pace of the game with three tackles in the first five minutes of the game.
Aslam Inamdar then proved his mettle in the raiding department, and then Mohit Goyat and Aman took over leading into halftime with their dominance on the defensive and offensive end. In the second half, Gaurav Khatri and Abinesh Nadarajan stepped up and pinned down the Pirates raiders.
Aslam Inamdar finished with a game-high 9 points (4 raid touch, 2 tackle & 3 raid bonus) points. Mohit Goyat (5 raid touch & 3 tackle points) were top-notch with their all-round performance. Gaurav Khatri (6 tackle points) and Aman (6 tackle points) finished the game with high 5s each. With the win, the Paltan go to the top of the table.
The Paltan are averaging 15 raid points per game and 16.5 tackle points per game. Aslam Inamdar is averaging six raid points per game. Gaurav Khatri (13 tackle points) and Aman (10 tackle points) are the top two defenders for the Paltan's this season.
Puneri Paltan Probable Starting 7 - Aslam Inamdar, Mohit Goyat, Pankaj Mohite, Gourav Khatri, Aman, Abinesh Nadarajan, Sanket Sawant

It is going to be a tough contest between two defensive teams that are hard to get past, and both teams do boast versatility in their raiding units. However, the Paltan's raiders can often struggle against a quality defensive unit, while the Thalaivas have experience in the form of Sachin and Chandran Ranjith, who can weather the storm of the opponents' defensive unit. Ultimately, this game is going to be a close one, and the team that performs well in the raiding end will clinch the game. The Thalaivas do have an edge in terms of raiding, and we back them to win this fixture against the odds.
