PKL 11: Key player battles to watch out for in match 86, Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Telugu Titans
Can Bengaluru Bulls’ defence restrict the young raiding force of Patna Pirates?
Jaipur Pink Panthers will face Telugu Titans in the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) in their final match of the second leg before heading to Pune for the final leg. When these two teams met for the first time this season, the Jaipur Pink Panthers crushed the Telugu Titans with a massive margin of 30 points (52-22), but a lot has changed since then.
Telugu Titans have been in tremendous form recently. Under Vijay Malik’s leadership, Titans have given exhilarating results even in the absence of Pawan Sehrawat. Vijay Malik, Ashish Narwal, and Manjeet have taken responsibility into their own hands and have done a fabulous job. Titans are currently in the second position. In addition to these raiders, the defence department is also doing a wonderful job leading them to 4 victories in their last 5 outings.
On the contrary, it has been a one-man show for the Jaipur Pink Panthers as far as the raiders are concerned. Apart from Arjun Deshwal, no one has scored points consistently and disappointed the team more than once. Whenever Deshwal fails to deliver, it has put the Panthers on the losing side.

On that note, let’s look at the list of three key battles from the match between Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Telugu Titans.
Arjun Deshwal vs Sagar Sethpal
Although the raiding department of the Pink Panthers haven’t done well this season, Deshwal has been in incredible form. He is the third top raid-point scorer this season with 152 raid points in his name. He has been pretty consistent throughout. However, his lack of rhythm always costs the team dearly and that is what makes him the most important man in this match. If the Titans’ defence can hold him from scoring points, it will cause a ton of problems for the Pink Panthers.
For the Titans, Sagar Sethpal has been in splendid form. He has scored 33 tackle points in 14 matches and has been rock solid for the Titans. He scored a high 5 against the U Mumba in their last outing and will be one of the keys to the Titans’ success when they set foot against the Panthers.
Vijay Malik vs Ankush Rathee
Vijay Malik has been a wonderful asset for the Telugu Titans. He has led them with sheer brilliance and has been equally good with his raiding contribution. He has scored 3 consecutive Super 10s and is looking even better. Malik is going to be a big threat coming in for the Pink Panthers and it will be a big blow for the Titans if the Pink Panthers’ defence can restrict him.
Ankush Rathee is going to be the defender in charge of stopping the Titans’ captain. Rathee has been fabulous this season and is the most successful defender for his team with 38 tackle points in 14 matches. If he can restrict Malik in this contest, the Pink Panthers’ chances will certainly go up.
Ashish Narwal vs Reza Mirbagheri
Ashish Narwal has continuously played the role of the supporting raider. He did not start with the preferred Starting 7 of the team but has cemented his place with his consistent contribution. Narwal’s been fabulous with his do-or-die raids especially which is a massive role to play in any team, and that too with a success rate. Narwal has scored 83 raid points in 14 matches and will be a crucial player to look forward to in the upcoming match.
If we talk about Reza Mirbagheri, is another important defender of Pink Panthers, who contributes brilliantly to the victory of Pink Panthers. Mirbagheri is another important defender from the Pink Panthers who has been a superb addition to the Pink Panthers. He is the second most successful defender of the Pink Panthers with 32 tackle points in 14 matches. If he can restrict Ashish Narwal, Pink Panthers will have a better chance of winning the match of the revenge week.
