The Bulls outclassed Dabang Delhi KC in their previous match and will strive to maintain momentum against the Giants, who have just 2 wins in 8 games this season. The Bengaluru Bulls, who are in second place, have won 6 of their 9 games so far.
While the Bulls beat Delhi 61-22 in their last match, the Gujarat Giants beat the Telugu Titans 40-22, but are still in 11th place on the points table.
PKL 2021-22 Points table | the results | Schedule
Bengaluru captain Pawan Sehrawat has scored 27 points in Delhi’s defeat and will try to do so against the Giants ’defending fighter.
Gujarat coach Manpreet Singh is missing both of his experienced corners Ravinder Pahal and Girish Ernak in the previous Gujarat match, but will hope that his experienced team will find answers to Pawan’s dominance.
Rakesh Sangroya was one of the new strikers in the tournament and will again be expected to take responsibility for the attacks for the Giants. Mahendra Rajput also had a good outing against the Telugu Titans and that should bring him a place in the top 7.
The Bengaluru Bulls ’39-point win against Delhi was the second biggest win in PKL history, but coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat may have missed the trick by not giving his secondary strikers more chances.
Like Chandran Ranjit and Bharat, they were able to score more points to gain confidence for the long season ahead. It will be interesting to see how he behaves against the defense, which will probably send Pawan to the dugout a lot.
