In four seasons, Hyderabad-based franchise Telugu Titans have failed to reach the final of the Pro Kabaddi League, with the third spot being their best performance. They will be looking to change that when they start their campaign for the 5th season on 28th July.
Telugu Titans have been slotted in Zone B, along with Bengal Warriors, Bengaluru Bulls, Patna Pirates, Tamil Thalaivas, and UP Yoddha.
Titans will be captained by their retained raider Rahul Chaudhari. The team has managed to get some really good bargain buys at this season's auction.
Nilesh Salunkhe and veteran international and Arjuna awardee Rakesh Kumar will form a formidable raiding trio with Rahul. The strength in the raiding ranks, however, is not complemented by an equally illustrious defensive line-up. Much of the defensive duties will be on the shoulder of former Jaipur Pink Panther player Rohit Rana and Amit Chillar.
If the Titans are to win the title this season, they must hope that Chillar can come out of his error-prone Season three form.
Whether or not the Telugu Titans can escape their mid-table blues this season remains to be seen, but they are bound to entertain crowds with their star-studded raiding unit.
Below is the schedule of Telugu Titans' matches in the league stage. Apart from these, one more inter-zonal match will be played, details of which will be decided by a wildcard.
