Yogesh Dahiya vs Vijay Malik

The captain of Bengaluru Bulls, Yogesh Dahiya, will be their key player against Telugu Titans. The talisman of the Bulls will be keen to deliver a strong defensive performance against Telugu Titans. Even though in the last match he failed to get a single tackle point, one can’t count him out, as he is crucial for Bengaluru Bulls and will be looking to perform well in the PKL 12 match.

On the other hand, the captain of Telugu Titans, Vijay, will look to make a comeback after a not-so-good outing in the last match. He looked off colour in the last match. Although he finished with 7 points in the last match, only 1 came as a touch point, while the rest were bonus points

He is the key player of the Titans and will be looking to stop Yogesh Dahiya. Vijay has scored 49 points in 6 matches in PKL 12.

Deepak Sankar vs Bharat Hooda

Deepak has been a find for Bengaluru Bulls this season. In his debut season, the 20-year-old has impressed everyone with his defensive performance and great skills. He has scored 17 points in 5 matches in PKL 12 and is the best defender for Bengaluru Bulls this season.

He will be looking to stop the Telugu Titans‘ raiding duo of Bharat and Vijay, and can pose a serious threat to the opposition. In the last match, he stood tall for the Bulls, scoring a high five with 2 brilliant super tackles

On the other hand, Bharat Hooda continues with his great form this season. After a disappointing performance last season, Bharat has been impressive so far. He scored 51 points in 6 matches in PKL 12 with a brilliant super 10 in the last match. Bharat will be once again looking to deliver for the Titans, and this time, he will be hoping for a match-winning performance.

Alireza Mirzaian vs Ajit Pawar

The Iranian raider, Alireza, will be looking to provide a match-winning performance against Telugu Titans. He has been their key raider and has scored 49 points in 6 matches in PKL 12.

In the last match, he scored 8 points. The raiding responsibility will once again be on the shoulders of Alireza, as he will be a crucial player for the Bulls if they want to win this match.

To counter him, Telugu Titans will be relying on their best defender of the season, Ajit Pawar. He has scored 13 points in 6 matches and will be looking to stabilise Telugu’s defence. His presence is crucial for Telugu Titans, as he will add versatility to the defence. Since the Telugu defence hasn’t been performing well as a unit in PKL 12, Ajit needs to stand up and look to stop Bengaluru’s raider
