PKL 12: Tamil Thalaivas' full schedule & squad for Pro Kabaddi 2025

Tamil Thalaivas will start their campaign against Telugu Titans in PKL 12.

Tamil Thalaivas will once again be stepping into another Pro Kabaddi League season with huge hopes. It has been the story of the side based out of Tamil Nadu, which is known as the birthplace of Kabaddi.

But in the six seasons they have played, the men in yellow have made it to the playoffs only once. Ironically, it was the season when they roped in Pawan Sehrawat in 2022. The Thalaivas’ fans would be happy to see the return of the Hi-Flyer, who is eager to prove a point.

The player-coach duo of Arjun Deshwal and Sanjeev Baliyan might be new to the Thalaivas, but they are one of the most successful pairs in the league’s history. Apart from these new purchases in the auction, they have retained their young core. Let’s take a look at their full schedule and squad for PKL 12.

Tamil Thalaivas’ full squad:

The Tamil Thalaivas have assembled their strongest squad yet, headlined by star raider Arjun Deshwal and all-rounder Pawan Sehrawat. With Iranian defender Alireza Khalili strengthening their defense, this could be the season where they finally make their mark in PKL history.

Raiders: Narender, Dhiraj Ravindra Bailmare, Vishal Chahal (right raider), Yogesh Yadav, Abhiraj Manoj Pawar (left raider), Rohit Kumar Beniwal (left raider), Arjun Deshwal.
