The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) has reached its intense Delhi leg, and the excitement continues to build up with each match. On Tuesday, October 14th, 2025, fans will witness Match 83, featuring a face-off between two underperforming teams this season – Patna Pirates and Gujarat Giants. The match will begin at 8:00 PM IST at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, Delhi.
Both teams are currently at the bottom half of the points table and are desperate to grab a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. With the revised format allowing the top 8 teams to qualify, neither Patna nor Gujarat can afford to drop any more points from here.
Current Standings & Recent Form of Both Teams
Patna Pirates come into this game on the back of a tough loss against Haryana Steelers, where they went down 32-39. The season has not gone their way, and after 12 matches, they have won just 3 games and are last (12th) on the points table with 6 points.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants also lost their last game against Dabang Delhi, but their performances during the Chennai leg were promising. They’ve managed 4 wins in 13 games and currently sit at 10th place with 8 points. However, their recent form has shown signs of improvement, winning 3 of their last 5 matches.
Patna Pirates vs Gujarat Giants Head-to-Head Record:
- Total Matches Played: 15
- Patna Pirates Wins: 8
- Gujarat Giants Wins: 6
- Tied: 1
What’s interesting is that Patna Pirates are unbeaten against Gujarat Giants in the last two years. This psychological edge could give them the confidence they desperately need in this must-win encounter.
Players to Watch Out For
Ankit Jaglan (Patna Pirates)
The captain and all-rounder Ankit Jaglan has been one of the rare positives in an otherwise forgettable campaign for Patna. His defensive skills have been commendable, but he will need to lead from the front to inspire his team. With raider Ayan Lohchab being the only consistent raider, Jaglan’s all-round performance could be the key if Patna wants to grab those crucial two points.
Himanshu Singh (Gujarat Giants)
After being introduced as a substitute in the last game, Himanshu Singh impressed everyone with a Super 10 against the strong Delhi defense. With Rakesh Sungroya leading the side, Himanshu’s support will be vital once again. If he can maintain his form, Gujarat can expect to dominate Patna’s struggling defense.
Predicted Starting 7s
Patna Pirates:
- Maninder Singh
- Ayan Lohchab

Match Prediction: Who Will Win?
Although both teams are struggling, Gujarat Giants seem to have found some rhythm in their recent games. Their combination looks more balanced, and with players like Himanshu and Rakesh stepping up, they could very well get the better of Patna Pirates.
Predicted Winner: Gujarat Giants
However, Patna has history on its side and will be desperate to bounce back. It’s all set to be a close contest, but Gujarat’s current form gives them the edge.
