PKL 12: Tamil Thalaivas vs Telugu Titans prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Tamil Thalaivas won the first contest between these two sides earlier this season.

Match 42 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) will see the first reverse fixture. Two southern rivals, Tamil Thalaivas, are battling it out against the Telugu Titans.

These two sides played the first game of the season, in which the Thalaivas were victorious. They have dominated the rivalry in recent times. Thalaivas have lost just one game in the last nine meetings.

The Titans will be looking to turn their fortunes around just like they did after a poor start to the season. They were on a three-match winning streak before succumbing to three consecutive losses.

For Thalaivas, the wins in the last two games have subsidised the Pawan Sehrawat controversy. Both teams would want a win to get their journey on track.

Tamil Thalaivas:

Raiders: Narender Kandola, Arjun Deshwal, Vishal Chahal, Anuj Gawade, Abhiraj Pawar, Rohit Beniwal.

Defenders: Sagar Rathee, Nitesh Kumar, Aashish, Ronak, Alireza Khalili, Mohit Khaler, Tarun, Yogesh Yadav.

Players to watch out for

Tamil Thalaivas – Ronak

The biggest talking point for Tamil Thalaivas before the season was about cover defenders. The management was confident that they had the players, and Ronak is one of the answers to it. The right cover impressed everyone in the last two games with eight points.

Telugu Titans – Shubham Shinde

Shubham Shinde was a big name in the auction, and the Titans have high hopes from Shubham. But the right corner hasn’t lived up to the expectations. He has to contribute if the Titans have to go further in the league.

His clash against Arjun Deshwal will decide the outcome of this match. Arjun had won the contest so far, and Shubham would like to change it.

Possible starting 7

Telugu Titans – Shubham Shinde, Vijay Malik, Ankit, Bharat Hooda, Ajit Pawar, Ashish Narwal, Avi Duhan.

Tamil Thalaivas – Arjun Deshwal, Narender Kandola, Sagar Rathee, Aashish, Nitesh Kumar, Himanshu, Ronak.

Match Prediction

Thalaivas have found some momentum with two consecutive wins. Their defense seems to be in shape as they will be the favorites going into the game.

Titans have won games with Vijay Malik and Bharat Hooda doing the bulk of the work. If Thalaivas can stop the duo, then they will again be victorious in the Southern Derby.
