Tamil Thalaivas beat Telugu Titans: Pro Kabaddi PKL 8 – Telugu Titans were once again without sufficient quality across the mat. The absence of Siddharth Desai and Rajnish cost them dearly as they remained with just one win in the season. Thalaivas’ win – their second in as many matches – will give them much-needed confidence in their pursuit of a playoff spot. Defence dominated the early minutes of the Southern Derby with both sides not giving an inch. The Telugu Titans, despite just having one win in the season so far, were in no mood to let Thalaivas settle.

By the end of the first half, Thalaivas raced to a 12-point lead with the scores 22-10.
