Will Telugu Titans retain Pawan Sehrawat for PKL 12? Exploring the possibilities

Pawan Sehrawat scored 129 points in PKL 11.

Telugu Titans performed better last season than in the rest of the seasons. They finished in last place in the points table for three consecutive seasons before the duo of Pawan Sehrawat and Krishan Kumar Hooda helped them put up a challenge against other teams. They came close to making it to the playoffs after six seasons, but finished just below the teams that made it to the next round.

The fans were happy to see them take on a tough challenge. As they look forward to the next season, one big question is about their skipper, Pawan Sehrawat. The Indian skipper has been one of the most consistent Raiders in the league and can turn the game in a few seconds. Will Telugu Titans retain him to build the team around him? Let’s dive into the possibilities.

Pawan Sehrawat’s impact on the team is well known, he led Bengaluru Bulls to their maiden title in the sixth season. His raiding and captaincy helped the Bulls make it to the playoffs for three seasons before he moved to Tamil Thalaivas. Although he was injured in the first 10 minutes of the season, he kept in touch with the players, inspiring them to make it to their first-ever playoffs.

Pawan was main reason behind the Titans’ good performance in PKL 11

The Hi-Flyer moved to the Titans in season 10, and they finished last. But he made a strong comeback and led the team to many victories last season. His partnership with coach Krishan Kumar Hooda and the all-arounder duo of Vijay Malik and Ashish Narwal was one of the PKL 11 highlights. In 13 games, he scored 129 points. His raiding and captaincy skills push a strong case for retention.

While the trio took care of the raiding duties, the defense was a huge concern for the Titans. They spent big bucks on Krishan Dhull, who had an ordinary season last year with just 21 points from 19 games. The men in yellow would want to add reinforcements to their defense and would need a bigger purse at the auction. Keeping Pawan in the team could cost the team a lot of money.

The team can adopt last year’s strategy on Pawan

Titans had similar concerns last year, so they released him before the auction and used the FBM card to retain him. They would like to keep their options open with more money, so they will follow the same strategy as last year.

Don’t forget that Coach Hooda can unearth young talent, he might have already written down a few names in his wish list. They might sign a few as New Young Players.

If they sign NYP defenders, they might retain their skipper. If not, they will release him and will look to sign back with the FBM card, hopefully at a lesser price.
