FULL TIME! Telugu Titans 19 - 30 Gujarat Giants

Telugu Titans, who had a respectable lead at the break, have taken a serious setback in the second half with an 11-point shortfall over their opponents. The Giants came to party in the second twenty, a collective performance on a day that wasn't going as per Ram Mehar Singh's tactics, but ended up yielding them the much needed result. And as for the Titans, they don't seem to have that positive element with them. They look fragile and not worthy enough to pose any sort of threat from their attack front. It's the defence of Gujarat Giants that deserves praise tonight. Sourav Gulia struck a high 5, while Rinku Narwal scalped 4 tackle points, which eventually put a dent on Telugu Titans' hope of getting points from raid. Parteek Dahiya showed a lot of promise, especially when Rakesh wasn't on top of his game. He did the hard yards for the Giants. In the end, the men in orange will be happy with this result and will take home those five points and look to improve in their upcoming matches.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda’s coverage of the PKL season 9. The Telugu Titans who sit at the bottom of the table will be going up against Gujarat Giants who are currently placed ninth on the points table. Both teams did not have the best finishes to their matches in the Bengaluru leg of the tournament. Coming on the bank of losses from previous encounters, these two would be ideally looking for an opportunity to get off to a winning start at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Pune.

The Titans have absolute star power in their ranks, but they haven’t been able to pose a threat to the opposition numbers yet, and coach Manjeet Chillar will be optimistic about players like Siddharth Desai, Monu Goyat, Vishal Bharadwaj, and Parvesh Bhainswal coming to the party. For the Giants, Rakesh Sangroya has been in prime form, winning points at frequent intervals, and a bit of resilience from the defence tonight could be the factor that could separate these two sides.

This could be an interesting match-up. Let’s find out who can bring their A-game tonight and take home those points. Taking you through all the live action will be me, Saikrishna MD. Get some snacks, find your spot to chill and enjoy the coverage.
