PKL 10: Tamil Thalaivas Team Profile

The team's balance is quite good this time.

Tamil Thalaivas had a great performance during Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 9, reaching the semifinals. It's worth mentioning that in the previous season, the team made it to the semifinals for the first time but couldn't progress further. However, this team, without any experienced players, delivered an excellent performance. You may know that star raider Pawan Sehrawat was part of the team, but he got injured in the very first match and was out for the entire tournament.

In the 9th season, Tamil Thalaivas displayed top-class performance even without any big-name players, and that's why they are determined to repeat the feat this time. The team doesn't have Pawan Sehrawat this time, and the absence of experienced players will be a challenge for them in the upcoming PKL season. Let's take a look at the strong and weak points of Tamil Thalaivas before the start of PKL 10.

Tamil Thalaivas' Strengths:

Narendra Kandola and Ajinkya Pawar form a solid raider duo

Tamil Thalaivas' raiding department is consistent, with Narendra Kandola taking on the role of the main raider this time. He had an excellent performance in the previous season. After Pawan Sehrawat's early exit due to injury, Narendra Kandola showcased his "A-game" and didn't let the team down. In do-or-die situations, he scored 40 points, demonstrating his ability to thrive under pressure.

Ajinkya Pawar, who played alongside Narendra Kandola in the previous season, also had a commendable performance, scoring 141 points in 22 matches. That's why the team is relying on these two players again this season. It remains to be seen if they can replicate their form from the last season in this one.

The team's defense is strong

Similar to the 9th season, Sagar and Sahil Gulia will carry the responsibility of the defense this season. Sahil Gulia earned 57 tackle points in 23 matches in the previous PKL season, showcasing his outstanding performance. Right corner specialist Sagar also played a crucial role in winning matches for Tamil Thalaivas in critical situations when the team was on the brink of an all-out. The overall performance of the other defenders was also impressive.

Additionally, the team has included two Iranian defenders this time, making their defense even stronger. If these defenders can hold their ground, they will undoubtedly win matches for the team through their exceptional defense.

Tamil Thalaivas' Weakness:

Lack of experience could affect the team

Similar to the previous season, Tamil Thalaivas don't have any experienced players this season, and Pawan Sehrawat is not part of the team. While the team performed well in the 9th season without any star players, this time the team will face higher expectations from everyone.

In the previous season, most of the players in this team were new, and other teams didn't know their playing style. But this time, every team will have their own strategies, and if the players of this team don't perform well in the initial matches, their confidence could waver. However, how this team performs will only become clear during the upcoming season.

Players to watch:

In the upcoming season, all eyes will be on the star raider Narendra Kandola and the excellent defender Sagar, just as they were in the previous season. These two players have won several matches for Tamil Thalaivas through their exceptional performances, and the team's hopes will once again be high for them. If the team wants to perform well, the performance of these two will be crucial, as a poor showing from them could put pressure on the other players. These two will be the center of attention.
