Telugu Titans head coach Krishan Kumar Hooda slammed his team's defense for their poor performance against the Bengaluru Bulls. Hooda blamed the defense's last-minute errors for the team's 34-32 defeat against the Bulls.
SMS Indoor Stadium played host to a match between Telugu Titans and Bengaluru Bulls on September 15 in Pro Kabaddi 2025. It was a Rivalry Week special match in PKL 2025, where the Bulls defeated the Titans by two points in the southern derby.
Speaking at the post-match press conference of the game between Bulls and Titans, coach Krishan Kumar Hooda said:
"It is our mistake. We did everything wrong today. We should not have done what happened in the last raid. In the last two-three minutes, our defense was not performing well."
