The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 is all set for another intense southern derby as Telugu Titans take on Tamil Thalaivas in the third match of the season on October 19 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad. Both teams have plenty to prove as they aim for crucial early points in PKL 11.
The Titans have started PKL 11 on a positive note, securing a convincing victory against Bengaluru Bulls with a scoreline of 37-29 in their opening match. Hi-Flyer Pawan Sehrawat achieved a Super 10 with 13 raid points and became the third player in PKL history to breach the remarkable 1200 raid points mark. His leadership will be crucial as the Titans aim to build on this momentum.
Defensively, Krishan Dhull continued his excellent performance from the previous season, racking up six tackle points at the right corner. The defensive unit looked solid, with contributions from every defender, setting a strong foundation for the team's success.
On the other hand, Tamil Thalaivas finished ninth in PKL 10, a performance they will be eager to improve upon this season. With just one playoff appearance in six seasons and no finals to their name, the Thalaivas have set their sights on a stronger showing in PKL 11.
Their unique dual-coaching setup, led by head coach Udaya Kumar and strategy coach Dharmaraj Cheralathan, aims to infuse new tactics and strategies into the squad. The franchise has retained a robust core defensive unit, including captain Sagar Rathee, Sahil Gulia, M. Abishek, and Mohit. In the raiding department, they will look to emerging talent Narender, along with the recent signing of Sachin Tanwar, to provide the necessary firepower.

Telugu Titans vs Tamil Thalaivas Match Prediction
Telugu Titans will enter this match brimming with confidence after a dominating performance in their opener. With Pawan Sehrawat leading the raiding unit, and the defense functioning cohesively under Krishan Dhull, the Titans look like a well-rounded team ready to tackle any challenge. Pawan’s consistency, coupled with the support of defenders like Dhull, make them slight favorites going into this encounter.
However, Tamil Thalaivas should not be underestimated. While they struggled in PKL 10, their revamped squad and dual-coaching setup could offer new strategies. The raiding duo of Narender and Sachin Tanwar could be a serious threat to the Titans' defense, and if the Thalaivas' defense, led by Sagar Rathee, clicks early, they can put up a solid fight.
Prediction: Telugu Titans to win.
