Tamil Thalaivas vs Bengaluru Bulls Match Preview: 

Tamil Thalaivas are coming from a well-played draw against the Telugu Titans and would be looking to better their performance in the second southern derby of the Pro Kabaddi League – against Bengaluru Bulls. 

Meanwhile, Bengaluru Bulls lost their first match against U Mumba by 30-46 and would be eyeing a win against the Tamils to get their campaign going. Tamil Thalaivas have always finished last in the Pro Kabaddi League while Bengaluru Bulls have won the title once, so the former champions would be looking to open their points account against the Thalaivas.

Tamil Thalaivas lead was stumbled in the dying minutes of the game and they had to share match points with Telugu Titans. The young Thalaivas roster had a lot of positive takeaways from the previous fixture. Therefore won’t be surprised when J Udayakumar retains the same Starting 7 sidelining the likes of Sagar Krishna and Santhapanaselvam

Bengaluru had a disastrous outing in the U Mumba clash where the Bulls defence was completely off the mark. Their only defensive takeaway from the last match was young cover defender Mayur Jagannath Kadam who had a memorable debut performance. Surprisingly, left corner defender Amit Sheoran was excluded from Starting 7. But, Amit eventually had to step out of the substitution bench due to circumstances and is expected to make his comeback as well.
