Telugu Titans will look to build on their momentum as they face Tamil Thalaivas in the third match of PKL Season 11 on October 19 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Titans are coming off a strong performance, having secured their first win of the season with a victory against Bengaluru Bulls. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat was key in their triumph, delivering a super 10 while Krishan Dull's high 5 was also crucial.
With additional support from players like Praful, Sanjeevi and Ajith Pawar, who can step up when needed, the Titans are aiming to solidify their strength early in the season.
On the other hand, Tamil Thalaivas will be eager to kick off their season with a fresh start after missing out on the playoffs last year. They have made some significant changes to their squad, retaining core youngsters and adding one of the most consistent raiders, Sachin Tanwar, to their roster.
Coached by Uday Kumar and Dharmaraj Cheralathan, the Thalaivas will be hoping for redemption this season.
Narender Kandola, who was a standout raider last season, will be one of the key players to watch for Tamil Thalaivas. Their defense also looks strong, with Sagar and Sahil, both of whom impressed last season, providing stability at the back.
With a balanced squad, Tamil Thalaivas are aiming for a strong start and a path toward the playoffs.
The match promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams looking to make a mark early in the season. Telugu Titans will hope to carry their winning form while Tamil Thalaivas will aim to set the tone with their new-look squad.
