Telugu Titans’ brilliant defence performance helped them defeat Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Telugu Titans secured their first win of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) and got the better of an in-form Jaipur Pink Panthers side. The Titans, led by their skipper Vijay Malik, put up an exceptional display on the mat and emerged as the deserving winners.

Bharat also played a pivotal role in helping his side, while Ajit Pawar, Shubham Shinde, and Ankit displayed a strong defensive performance to take their side over the line.

After the game, both teams’ head coaches and captains addressed the media.

Jaipur Pink Panthers 

Positives from the game

Jaipur Pink Panthers head coach Narender Redhu shared the positives from this game and said, “Look, it was just the second match. We played well in the first match. It takes some time for a team to come. New boys have entered the league. It is Nitin’s third season. We changed the corner, and Khatri played well. We will plan for the next matches and play well.”

What’s different this season?

Nitin was quizzed about what’s different about the team this season and how he can perform so well. He replied and said, “This year, Coach Saheb has made good preparations in our camp. Whenever a player made a small mistake, he would point it out to him again and again and correct it. Whatever could not be done, he would tell him again and again, and he would keep it in mind.”

Thoughts on Dabang Delhi

Narender Redhu shared his views on Dabang Delhi ahead of their next match and said, “Delhi is a good team, and they have a superstar raider in Ashu Malik. So we have to stop Ashu, and their defense also has a lot of experience with Fazel and Surjeet. We have two days, so we will make a plan accordingly. I believe that if we cover Ashu, we will win the match.”

Telugu Titans 

Thoughts on the game

Telugu Titans head coach Krishan Kumar Hooda shared his thoughts on the game and said, “The team has played very well, and there is no comparison to it. We played very well in the first two matches, but we were making a few mistakes.”

“Today I want to tell you through you that I don’t say anything about victory or defeat, but if you watch the tournament, this year Telugu Titans will come in a different colour and show different colours, I am 100% sure of this,” he added.

Fan support

Krishan Kumar Hooda applauded the Telugu Titans’ supporters for their constant support. He said, “The audience supports us, so wherever we go, whether we play in Delhi or UP, the Titans’ audience cannot be matched in India.”

“The Titans viewers and fans are so dedicated that they inspire us. They motivated us even in our defeats. We have played well and will play well. But they are motivating us. I thank them a lot,” he added.

Thoughts ahead of the next game

Krishan Kumar Hooda shared his thoughts ahead of the next game against the Bengal Warriorz and said, “Devank Dalal is no doubt a good raider. We will do our job, and Devank will do his. It will be a top match for sure. I won’t worry about winning or losing, but we will play a very top match. Bengal Warriorz is a good team, and there is no doubt that even in our team, all the players are good.”
