Good evening everyone...
Welcome to the LIVE coverage of 2nd of tonight’s double header between Telugu Titans and Jaipur Pink Panthers at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, Delhi in the ongoing Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League season 4.
Telugu Titans are currently placed 3rd in the final standings after having won 6 of their 12 matches played so far in season 4, losing 4 while drawing the other two. The Titans need to win their remaining two matches in order to fight for a place in the top 2 of the final standings and would hope their star raider Rahul Chaudhari to continue his fine form into these encounters and help them to end their league stage with a couple of wins. The 23-year old raider currently leads the table for the players with the maximum number of raid points in season 4, as he has gathered a whopping total of 96 raid points so far in the campaign.
On the other hand, Jaipur Pink Panthers currently sits in 2nd place in the final standings, equal on points with the leader Patna Pirates and will play their last league match against the Titans. The season 1 champions have already qualified for the semi-finals, but with the top spot still up for a gathering, they would want to end their league stage campaign with a win. Their star raider Jasvir Singh has led his team from the front and has gathered a mammoth total of 62 raid points so far in the season. Amit Hooda has been seen in sublime form in this season 4 in the defence line for the Panthers, he currently is placed 2nd in the table for the players with most successful tackles with 38 successful tackles to his name.
The two sides have met each other on 7 occasions with the Panthers winning the encounter on 4 occasions to the Titans’ 2 while drawing one.

Game Plan
Telugu Titans – Beat Raider of season 4, Rahul Chaudhari will take on the Best Defender of season 4, Amit Hooda and left cover, Rohit Rana. Rahul can target Rana with his swift running hand touches as he is weaker of the two. Nilesh Salunke was off color in the last game against U Mumba but tonight Titans will need him to press hard from the other side.
Jaipur Pink Panthers – Jaipur's lone right side raider, Ajay Kumar has been sensational throughout this season. Tonight he will face Sandeep Dhull on the left corner and Sandeep Narwal on the right corner, so he might struggle a bit. Rajesh Narwal and Jasvir Singh will be facing the dasher of Telugu Titans, Vinod Kumar. Jasvir always like to raid deep in the corner and tonight he will have to do the same to keep Sandeep Narwal away from the game.
