Gujarat Giants will take on Haryana Steelers in a crucial Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 9 fixture at the Shree Shivchhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pune on Monday, November 14.

The Chandran Ranjit-led Giants will be desperate for a win after succumbing to a 27-46 defeat against Bengal Warriors in their last game at the same venue on Saturday.

Having registered five wins, six losses and one tie, the Giants are currently placed 11th in the PKL Season 9 standings with 31 points from 11 matches.
