After starting the season with a dominant win over the Bengaluru Bulls, the Telugu Titans are set to face their southern rivals, the Tamil Thalaivas, on Day 2 of the Pro Kabaddi League 2024, scheduled for Saturday, October 19, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Titans secured a comfortable victory against the Bulls on Day 1, with a final score of 37-29. Star raider Pawan Sehrawat once again led the charge for his team, scoring 13 raid points, although he received minimal support from the other raiders. However, the defence, spearheaded by Krishan Dhull (6 tackle points), compensated for the weaknesses in raiding. To overcome the Thalaivas, they’ll need a more balanced performance.
The Tamil Thalaivas have made some big investments this season, with their marquee signing being Sachin Tanwar, who was acquired for ₹2.15 crore. The powerful and consistent raider, known for excelling in Do-or-Die raids, will be partnered by Narender in the raiding department, while Sahil Gulia and Captain Sagar Rathee form a strong corner defence. They certainly look like a team to beat this season.

Dream 11 Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
Dream11 team selection requires 1-2 budget enablers. Telugu Titans’ right cover Sagar Sethpal, priced at 10 credits, fits this role well and could contribute both defensively and as an enabler.
Although Narender Kandola is classified as a defender, Dream11 players should not overlook him for their teams. For captaincy, Sachin Tanwar is an excellent choice for the Thalaivas, with Krishan Dhull and Pawan Sehrawat also being strong contenders.
