Pro Kabaddi 2023 LIVE Score, Match 59: Telugu Titans vs Gujarat Giants - PKL 10 Live Updates & Commentary

FULL-TIME!! Telugu Titans 30-37 Gujarat Giants

In a spectacle that kept us on the edge of our seats, the Gujarat Giants secure a stellar victory against the Telugu Titans, clinching their second win of the season against them. A near repeat of their first encounter, but with even more drama at the DOME by NSCI in Navi Mumbai!

Telugu Titans began with a burst of energy, ending the first half with a promising five-point lead. However, the Giants unleashed a winning mentality in the second half, executing an all-out right out of the gate. The momentum swung in their favor, and they never looked back.

A colossal performance by Deepak Singh at the right cover stole the spotlight—nine tackle points in as many attempts, boasting a flawless 100% tackle success rate. Unreal! Rakesh contributed a Super 10 in the raiding department, playing a pivotal role in Gujarat's comeback. Sonu, stepping in as a sub, added valuable support in raids.

For the Titans, Pawan Sehrawat started with a Super Raid but struggled later on. Sanjeevi displayed promise but couldn't single-handedly turn the tide. Substitutes Nitin and Mohit emerged as the defensive backbone, securing five and four tackle points respectively.

The Titans suffer another setback, remaining at the bottom spot, while the Giants ascend to the coveted second spot. What a night in Navi Mumbai!

That wraps up today's coverage of PKL 2023. Goodnight, and this is Meeth Agrawal, signing off.

Hello and welcome to the DOME by NSCI in Navi Mumbai! I'm Meeth Agrawal, and I'm delighted to bring you Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2023 clash between Telugu Titans and Gujarat Giants. It's the 59th game of the season, and we're diving into the second matchup of Day 2 of the Mumbai leg.

It's a tale of two teams on contrasting paths! 

In the red corner, we have the Telugu Titans, desperately seeking answers to the struggles that have haunted them for the past few campaigns. The addition of the High Flyer, Pawan Sehrawat, injected hope, but the results have remained elusive. With just one win in nine games, the Titans find themselves languishing at the bottom of the table, hungry for a turnaround.

Now, shift your gaze to the blue corner, where the Gujarat Giants are riding a wave of success in PKL 2023. Six wins in 10 games, and they're perched at the third spot. A win here could catapult them to the second spot, but they're hungry for redemption after a hiccup against a Naveen Kumar-less Dabang Delhi KC. You can bet Fazel Atrachali and his Giants are itching for redemption.

Will the Titans rise from the ashes, or will the Giants continue their roaring run? This is Meeth Agrawal, and the thrill is just about to begin! Stay Tuned!
