Bengaluru Bulls
Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is unstoppable and he showed it once again in Eliminator 1. The Bengaluru Bulls seemed out of the match against UP Yoddha but Pawan Kumar Sehrawat kept putting in monster raid after monster raid to get them a tie in regulation time. He then took over during the extra-time and ensured that the defending champions move to the semi-finals once again.
There is no player who is more dangerous in a knock out match than Sehrawat right now.
He will be aware that the Delhi defense has been able to keep him quiet this season. This is why he is going to need the support of Rohit Kumar as well as the defense to keep Naveen Kumar in check as well.
Mahender Singh, Amit Sheoran, and Saurabh Nandal were quite effective against Naveen Kumar the second time they played against him this season. If they are able to repeat the same kind of control over him then the Bulls could be in the PKL final once again.
Dabang Delhi K.C.
The leader at the end of the group stage and the side which has lost the least number of matches so far, Dabang Delhi K.C. is going to be very keen to get back into action after a long break. The leaders of the team would have seen how Pawan Kumar Sehrawat carried the Bulls single-handedly across the line and will be working on their defense against him.
Neutralizing Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is going to be very tough but Joginder Narwal and Ravinder Pahal are capable of the task. They are going to have strong support from the likes of Vishal Mane, Amit Kumar, and even Vijay.
There is no room for errors in this match because the penalty is going to be very severe.
Matching Pawan Kumar Sehrawat in the raiding department is Naveen Kumar. The man 19 consecutive Super-10’s this season has been a force to be reckoned with. He has been able to perform under pressure situations with remarkable reliability and really comes to life in the second half.
Naveen Kumar, Chandran Ranjit, and Vijay are likely to be three players that are tasked with getting the better of the Bengaluru Bulls defense.
No player has more points to his name than Pawan Kumar Sehrawat this season. He has 335 total points and 321 raid points. Naveen Kumar has 268 raid points to his name to be the third-highest point scorer so far.
