PKL 10: Tamil Thalaivas predicted starting 7

The team had retained most of the players.

During the 9th season of PKL, Tamil Thalaivas delivered a historic performance and secured a place in the semifinals. The team had made it to the semifinals for the first time but couldn't progress further. The team had put up a fantastic performance without any big-name players. Pawan Sehrawat was part of the team but was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury in the first match. This time, Tamil Thalaivas find themselves in a similar situation. Once again, the Thalaivas' team does not have any big star players. However, they have players who have the potential to make them champions.

During the auction, Tamil Thalaivas acquired seven players, and they currently have a total of 21 players for the 10th season. This includes 10 raiders, 10 defenders, and one all-rounder, indicating good balance in the Thalaivas' team. Let's find out which players could get a chance in Tamil Thalaivas' starting seven for PKL 10.

In the raiding department, they have Narender Kondola and Ajinkya Pawar

Tamil Thalaivas' raiding department remains the same as the previous season. Narender Kondola will once again be responsible for the main raider role. He had performed exceptionally well in the previous season. After Pawan Sehrawat's injury and exit, Narendra Kondola displayed outstanding gameplay and did not let Pawan Sehrawat's absence affect the team. Narender Kondola scored 40 points in the 'Do or Die' situations, showing his ability to perform under pressure. In the previous season, Ajinkya Pawar also had a good performance, accumulating 141 points in 22 matches.

Himanshu Narwal, who was part of the team in the previous season and has been retained, might get an opportunity as the third raider. Last time, he played in only three matches, but this time, he could get more chances.

In the defense, the focus will be on Sahil Gulia and Sagar B

Tamil Thalaivas' defense remains the same as the previous season, with all five players being retained, and two more Iranian defenders added to the team. Tamil Thalaivas purchased Iranian defender Amirhossein B. for 30 lakhs. Sagar and Sahil Gulia will be responsible for the defense, with Sahil Gulia excelling in the left corner position during the previous PKL season. He earned 57 tackle points in 23 matches. Right corner specialist Sagar had won matches for Tamil Thalaivas with his individual performances in several games last season, especially when the Thalaivas team was on the verge of an all-out. Sagar played 17 matches in the last PKL season and secured 53 tackle points, including five high-fives.

Additionally, M. Abhishek can play on the right cover position, and Himanshu Yadav can play in the left corner. They earned 60 and 57 points in 23 matches in the previous season, respectively.

Raiders - Ajinkya Pawar (Left Raider), Himanshu Narwal (Left Raider), and Narender Kondola (Left Raider).
