It’s Kabaddi time, and the Pro Kabaddi League 12 (PKL 12) will kick off with a southern derby between Telugu Titans and Tamil Thalaivas. Both teams released some star players and formed a new and stronger squad for Season 12. Last year’s Titans captain will lead the Thalaivas this year.

Players to watch out for

Telugu Titans

Titans lacked firepower in defence last year. They have roped in Shubham Shinde to lead the backline. His presence at the corner will be crucial for the home team, as Thalaivas’ line-up will have a slew of Raiders coming in. Shubham’s synergy with the new franchise will be key for the season.
