The match will be played on <strong>11th September 2025<\/strong> in <strong>Visakhapatnam<\/strong>, which also marks the end of this leg of the tournament. From here, the league moves to Jaipur&#8217;s iconic <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/venue\/sms-indoor-stadium-jaipur\/\" data-type=\"sp_venue\" data-id=\"34\">Sawai Mansingh Stadium<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong>Dabang Delhi<\/strong> will be looking to continue their unbeaten run and end this phase on a high, <strong>Gujarat Giants<\/strong> will be desperate to bounce back and get their campaign back on track. Let\u2019s take a look at how both teams are shaping up ahead of this crucial encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Form <strong>of Both Teams<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dabang Delhi have been one of the most consistent sides this season. They\u2019ve played four matches so far and have won all of them, placing them comfortably at <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/table\/pro-kabaddi-points-table-2025-pkl-12\/\" data-type=\"sp_table\" data-id=\"42\"><strong>second place<\/strong> in the points table<\/a>. Their all-round performance \u2013 both in attack and defence \u2013 has stood out, especially their composure in pressure moments, like <strong>Golden Raids<\/strong>, where they\u2019ve held their nerve beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, are struggling to find rhythm. With <strong>just one win in four matches<\/strong>, they find themselves languishing at <strong>11th position<\/strong> on the table. Inconsistency in both their starting lineup and execution on the mat has hurt them, and they\u2019ll be hoping to reset things with a big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Head-to-Head: A Close Contest Over the Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to head-to-head records, there isn\u2019t much separating the two teams. Out of <strong>16 matches played<\/strong>, Delhi has won <strong>7<\/strong>, Gujarat has <strong>6 victories<\/strong>, and <strong>3 games have ended in a tie<\/strong>. This clearly shows that matches between these two sides are usually neck-and-neck, and fans can expect another thrilling battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Players to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ashu Malik (Dabang Delhi)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Leading from the front, <strong>Ashu Malik<\/strong> has been the standout star for Delhi this season. He has scored <strong>61 points in just 4 matches<\/strong>, emerging as a consistent performer in the raiding department. Not only is he carrying the responsibility of being captain, but he is also delivering in crunch moments. His duel against Gujarat\u2019s defensive wall, particularly their captain, will be one to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mohammadreza Shadloui (Gujarat Giants)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Things haven\u2019t gone well so far for the Iranian powerhouse. <strong>Mohammadreza Shadloui<\/strong>, who is also captaining Gujarat, has managed only <strong>5 tackle points in 4 matches<\/strong>, which is quite low considering his potential. This match could be the turning point for him \u2013 if he can find his rhythm, it could lift the entire team. Gujarat will be banking on him to bring his A-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Predicted Starting 7s for Both Teams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on recent lineups and performances, here are the <strong>likely starting 7s<\/strong> for both teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dabang Delhi:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ashu Malik<\/strong> (Captain &amp; Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ajinkya Pawar<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neeraj Narwal<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fazel Atrachali<\/strong> (Left Corner \u2013 Defender)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Surjeet Singh<\/strong> (Cover Defender)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saurabh Nandal<\/strong> (Right Corner \u2013 Defender)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sandeep<\/strong> (Defender)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Delhi\u2019s defence is looking settled with experienced names like Fazel and Surjeet. Their raiding unit, led by Ashu Malik, has been in top form, and unless there are any last-minute changes, this could be their go-to 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gujarat Giants:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mohammadreza Shadloui<\/strong> (Captain &amp; Defender)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rakesh HS<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Himanshu Singh<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Himanshu<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nitin Panwar<\/strong> (All-rounder)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shubham Kumar<\/strong> (Defender)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aryavardhan Navale<\/strong> (Raider)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gujarat is still experimenting a bit with their combinations. With multiple raiders in the mix, the challenge for them will be to strike the right balance between attack and defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Match Prediction \u2013 Will Delhi Remain Unbeaten?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we go by recent form and momentum, <strong>Dabang Delhi clearly have the upper hand<\/strong> in this match. They have a balanced squad, clarity in roles, and their key players are performing consistently. On the other hand, Gujarat Giants are still searching for the right combinations and have looked shaky under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Kabaddi is a game where momentum can shift quickly, but unless Gujarat come up with something different tactically or one of their players delivers an extraordinary performance, it\u2019s hard to see Delhi losing this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Dabang Delhi to win<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Watch Dabang Delhi vs Gujarat Giants Live?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The match will be <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/watch-pro-kabaddi-live-on-mobile-and-tv-channels-app\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1680\"><strong>telecast live on Star Sports Network<\/strong>,<\/a> so fans can tune in on TV for all the action.
