TOSS- Pune wins the toss and Telugu Titans will raid first
What does Titans need to win today?
The onus of scoring points will once again be on Siddharth Desai, who is on the brink of breaking another record. A record that was set by Naveen Kumar three days back against the same opposition. Desai is eight raid points away from becoming the fastest to 400 raid points. Should he get there today, he will claim the record a match earlier.
The defensive duties will be handled by Akash Choudhary and Krushna Madane. Rajnish, Rakesh Gowda will be there to help Siddharth in the raiding department.
