After two intense legs of kabaddi in Bengaluru and Pune, the PKL caravan moves to Hyderabad for the last round of league fixtures. Barring Telugu Titans, which has had a horror run in PKL 9 so far, the race to the playoffs remains a closely contested one with all 11 sides in with a chance.

“We are very excited to play in front of our home fans in Hyderabad. The fans will certainly spur us on to put up great performances and we can’t wait to entertain them in the stadium. Hopefully, we’ll strike form in our home city,” Telugu Titans head coach Venkatesh Goud said while hoping to see home fans turn out and support his side.
