Arjun Deshwal likely to continue as Tamil Thalaivas' captain after Pawan Sehrawat's release

In Pawan's absence, star raider Arjun Deshwal stepped up and captained the Tamil Thalaivas against the Bengal Warriorz in the match played on September 12. Deshwal led the Chennai-based franchise from the front by scoring 17 points, helping the team record an easy win over Bengal.

Since Arjun has captained the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the past as well, the Thalaivas may prefer handing over the reins of the team to him on a full-time basis soon. The Thalaivas will be in action against the Bengaluru Bulls on September 16 at the Sawai Man Singh Indoor Stadium.
