Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 4 of PKL 5

#3 Titans leave out Salunkhe

Nilesh Salunkhe was left out of the starting line-up

In a move that raised eyebrows, the Telugu Titans left their secondary raider Nilesh Salunkhe out of the starting unit. If there's one thing you don't want to do, it's burden star man Rahul Chaudhari with additional workload. Ostensibly, it was a move aimed at strengthening the defence, an area they had struggled in during the two games that they had lost. Plus, they were facing a strong raiding unit in the Yoddha.

Nilesh did come on to start the second half and was his usual consistent self. His introduction did not make much of a difference though as the Titans slid to another defeat with the Yoddha getting stronger in the second half.
