The Pro Kabaddi League, heading into its eleventh season, will return to the three-city caravan format. The PKL 11 will get underway at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on October 18.
Telugu Titans are among the founding clubs of the league. The side saw the emergence of a number of superstars in the sport like Rahul Chaudhari, who very soon became the face of the league and the sport in the country. Siddharth Desai (who now plays for Haryana Steelers) also bloomed in the Titans fold, earning the moniker Baahubali for his towering height and personality. Due to their inconsistency, the side has shown glimpses of brilliance but has not won the PKL trophy yet.
In PKL 11, the side is coached by Krishan Kumar Hooda and captained by India skipper Pawan Sehrawat, who was recently bought back by the franchise in the auction for (INR 1.725 CR).

SQUAD ANALYSIS
The Hyderabad-based franchise are among the many sides that have opted for a near overhaul of their side in order to affect something similar in their league fortunes. Titans bought back their talisman Pawan Sehrawat in the PKL 11 auction and kept their faith in the youngsters.
Dronacharya awardee Krishan Kumar Hooda, renowned for his success in leading Haryana’s state and police kabaddi teams to multiple national championships, is tspearheading Telugu Titans, seeks to break the franchise’s cycle of underperformance in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 11.
Abiding with the evolution of the league, Titans have also gone for several all-rounders. The addition of Krishan Dhull alongside Ajit Pawar has increased its defensive unit but it lacks experience heads. Pawan on the other hand will need the support of the other raiders to make a significant challenge for the palyoff sports.
