Ashish Narwal vs Rahul Sethpal

Ashish Narwal will lead the Telugu Titans’ raiding if Pawan Sehrawat misses the PKL 11 contest against Haryana Steelers. Narwal (46 raid points in 9 matches, 53.24% raid success rate) has been steady but not spectacular and averages 4.55 raid points per game. While he hasn’t reached a Super 10 but has a 79.22% “Not Out” rate and two Super Raids.He’ll need to do just that against the Steelers and their defensive anchor, Rahul Sethpal. Sethpal (30 tackle points in 9 PKL 11 matches and a 66% tackle success rate) is a force to be reckoned with. His two Super Tackles and one High 5 clearly show his game-changing ability.This key PKL 11 contest will be between Narwal’s agility and raiding versus Sethpal’s strength and tackling technique. This individual battle within the larger match could very well determine who wins this crucial match. The Titans will need Narwal to find those bonus points and escape Sethpal’s clutches to have a chance.

Vinay vs Ajit Pawar

The Haryana Steelers vs Telugu Titans PKL 11 match features an irresistible raider-defender duel as Haryana Steelers Vinay goes against Telugu Titans’ Ajit Pawar.

Vinay (59 raid points in 9 matches, averaging 6.55 per game) is a dangerous raider with two Super 10s and two Super Raids already under his belt. Though his raid success rate is a modest 41.54%, his 78.87% “Not Out” rate shows how he’s difficult to catch.

He’ll face a stern test in Ajit Pawar, the Titans’ dependable defender. Pawar (16 tackle points in 9 matches). While Pawar only averages 1.66 successful tackles per game, he showed some form of sorts in the last match. Pawar also has one Super Tackle and one High 5 and has the ability to produce clutch defensive plays.

Vijay Malik vs Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh

Two versatile players will go head-to-head as Telugu Titans’ Vijay Malik takes on Haryana Steelers’ Mohammadreza Shadloui. Malik is in great form and have just scored 15 points against UP Yoddhas and 13 points against Puneri Paltan and with team star Pawan Sehrawat out, Malik needs to step up big for the Titans.

On the other side, Shadloui has grown from being just a defender into a complete player in PKL 11. After getting 99 tackle points last season with Puneri Paltan, he’s stayed hot this year too, and in nine games he’s already scored 56 points – 25 in raids and 31 in tackles.
