Match Preview: 

Telegu Titans had a horrendous performance in season 7 of the Pro Kabaddi League, as they managed to win just 6 of their 22 matches. Siddhart Sirish Desai will be leading the Telugu Titans in this match. 

Meanwhile, Tamil Thalaivas had an even worse season than the Titans, as they finished at the bottom of the points table in Pro Kabaddi League season7. The Thalaivas managed to win only 4 matches throughout the tournament. K Prapanjan will be the Tamil Thalaivas’ ‘key raider’ in this match up. 

Both franchises have retained their coaches and named new captains ahead of the brand new PKL season. For the first time, Telugu Titans’ on-paper strength matches their raiding department. Despite the presence of beast cover defender Surjeet and the duo of Rohit Kumar and Siddharth Desai, there will be a nail-biting fight between Tamil raiders and Telugu defenders. And the winners of this battle may decide the full-time results.
