Matches - 18, Tackle Points - 39, Average Successful Tackles/Match - 2

The captain of the Telugu Titans, Abozar Mighani was expected to form a stellar partnership with Vishal Bhardwaj and decimate the opposition raiders. While Bhardwaj did his job well, the skipper could not do so. He featured in 18 matches for the Titans before being replaced as the skipper.

In those 18 games, Mighani scored 39 tackle points, which included a solitary High 5 only. Both the fans and the team officials would have expected a better performance from the Iranian defender who had scored over 50 tackle points in his last two seasons.

Though he pulled off three successful tackles in the tournament, the defender had below-par tackle strike rate of 44.82%. Since the Telugu Titans team management had dropped him from the playing seven of the final few matches, they had given a hint that they will release Mighani from the team.

Hence, the same can be expected to happen ahead of Pro Kabaddi 2020 as the Telugu Titans franchise will get a new captain and a new corner defender as well.
