Telugu Titans
Meanwhile, Telugu Titans has managed one win and suffered 13 losses in the campaign so far and will look for a change in fortunes in front of their fans in Hyderabad. Siddharth Desai has been the most reliable raider for the Titans with 110 raid points. Vinay has chipped in with 37 raid points, while Monu Goyat has scored 32 raid points for them. Their defence looks strong on paper with some well-known defenders in the Titans’ lineup but they haven’t lived up to expectations. Vishal Bhardwaj (28 tackle points), Parvesh Bhainswal (25 tackle points) and Surjeet Singh (17 tackle points) will all look to do better.
