U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Match Preview: 

U.P. Yoddha at the moment are thriving in the middle of the PKL season 8 points table, holding the seventh spot. Yoddhas have managed two wins, four losses and 3 draw matches in the seven matches they have played this season, and have 23 points against their name. 

Telugu Titans are having a horrid campaign as they are yet to register their first win in this season, even after playing 8 matches. Titans lost 6 matches and tied 2 games and are at the bottom of the points table with 10 points to their name. 

U.P. Yoddha were in a strong position against Haryana Steelers in their last encounter but they lacked in finishing and in the end had to share match points due to a tie. They’d be looking to forget the last outing and win this match to further solidify their position. 

Telugu Titans’ coach Jagdish Kumble would have prepared a season eight blueprint keeping the likes of Siddharth Desai, Rohit Kumar and Sandeep Kandola in mind as the absence of these three has hugely affected the Telugu Titans team. 

U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Match Details: 

  • Date: 15th January 2022

U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Head-to-Head: 

U.P. Yoddha leads the head-to-head count against Telugu Titans. However, Titans managed to pull off an upset against U.P. last time they met, despite Titans having a bad campaign in season 7 as well. 

Titans’ Siddharth ‘Bahubali’ Desai scored 15 raid points in that match and is recovering from an arm injury at the moment. On the other hand, UP’s star corner duo Nitesh -Sumit claimed a total of nine tackle points in that match.

U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Prediction:

U.P. Yoddha are expected to win this match against Telugu Titans. 

The key battle of this match will be between the raiders – UP’s Surender Gill and Telugu’s Rajnish Dalal. Gill surprisingly established himself as the lead raider of U.P. Yoddha even in the presence of Pardeep Narwal and Shrikant Jadhav. Surender Gill is currently in the top 10 raiders of the league with 66 raid points from nine games and almost won the game on his own, registering 14 points which included a tackle point. 

Renowned support raider Rajnish elevated his game in the absence of Siddharth Desai and Rohit Kumar. Titans’ coach Jagdish Kumble’s offensive approach and tactics will probably revolve around this raider. 

U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Fantasy Team:

  • Defenders: Sumit (C), Nitesh Kumar, Muhammed Shihas
  • All-Rounders: Shubham Kumar
  • Raiders: Surender Gill (VC), Pardeep Narwal, Rajnish Dalal

U.P. Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Players to watch out:

  • U.P. Yoddha – Pardeep Narwal, Surender Gill, Nitesh Kumar
  • Telugu Titans – Rajnish Dalal, Ankit Beniwal
