The Telugu Titans will face the Jaipur Pink Panthers in match 9 of the PKL season 11 on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. The match is scheduled to be played at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
After a winning start to their campaign in the season opener against the Bengaluru Bulls, the Titans lost to the Tamil Thalaivas in their last match. The Jaipur Pink Panthers, on the other hand, began their season with a victory over the Bengal Warriors. The games between the Titans and the Pink Panthers have consistently been high-scoring, with an average total match points of 80.5 in the last two seasons.
The Titans currently rank sixth in the points table with one win and one loss, while the Jaipur Pink Panthers are fourth with one win and a positive point differential.
In their head-to-head record, the Jaipur Pink Panthers hold an advantage over the Telugu Titans, winning 10 out of 19 matches. The Titans have won 8 matches, and one match ended in a tie. The Pink Panthers have won four of their last five matches against the Titans, with their most recent victory being 51-44.
Telugu Titans once again struggled to maintain their winning momentum, losing to the Tamil Thalaivas in their latest match, 29-44. A significant upset early in the season, the team failed to score a single point. The inconsistent performances of their defenders proved costly. Krishan Dhull, the hero of the first match against the Bulls, was benched late in the first half and did not return, while Shankar Gadai played in the right corner. Numerous unsuccessful tackles and freebies gifted to the Thalaivas raiders by Ankit in the right corner contributed to their downfall.
Pawan Sherawat continued to be a standout performer in the raiding department, finishing with 10 raid points, his second super 10 of the season. A positive aspect of the game was Vijay Malik's contribution, scoring 8 raid points (5 touch and 3 bonus) and 1 tackle point. Manjeet, the team's third raider, was primarily used in do-or-die raids but struggled to be effective. While Pawan Sherawat's presence is crucial for the Titans, the lack of contribution from the defense hinders their ability to deliver a collective performance.
The Titans face a challenging task against the Pink Panthers, who are formidable on both offense and defense. If the Titans can contain Arjun Deshwal, who accounts for 60% of the Panthers' scoring, they have a better chance of winning. In terms of statistics, the Titans are averaging 20 raid points and 11 tackle points per game. Pawan Sehrawat is averaging 11.5 raid points per game, and Krishan Dhull is averaging 3 tackle points per game.
Telugu Titans Probable Starting 7 - Pawan Sherawat, Vijay Malik, Manjeet, Krishan Dhull, Ankit, Ajit Pawar, Sagar Rawal.
A rare lapse in the semi-finals against the Steelers last season prevented the Pink Panthers from winning another title. This season, they have significantly strengthened their defense and began their campaign with a 34-39 victory over the Bengal Warriors. Arjun Deshwal continued his dominance against the Bengal Warriors, finishing with a game-high 15 points. Abhijeet Malik, with three raid touch points and four tackle points, was the star of the game on both ends of the mat. Surjeet Singh struggled in his debut as a Pink Panther, managing only one tackle point. Vikas Kandola also had a disappointing performance, finishing the game with just one raid point.
The Pink Panthers scored 22 raid points and managed only 9 tackle points. Their defense started slowly against the Warriors, and Ankush Rathee is expected to play a crucial role in containing Pawan Sherawat. The cover combination of Surjeet Singh and Reza Mirbagheri will need to improve if the Panthers hope to challenge the Titans.
Jaipur Pink Panthers Probable Starting 7 - Arjun Deshwal, Shrikant Jadhav, Surjeet Singh, Arpit Saroha, KS Abhishek, Ankush Rathee, Reza Mirbagheri
