Pawan Sehrawat, one of the brightest stars of the Pro Kabaddi League, made a return to the Telugu Titans for PKL 11 after being picked up at the auction for a staggering Rs. 1.725 crore. The Titans used their Final Bid Match (FBM) card during the 2024 auction in Mumbai to retain Sehrawat, following a bidding war between U Mumba and Bengaluru Bulls. Despite fierce competition, the Titans swooped in at the last moment, securing their star player for the upcoming season.
Pawan Sehrawat, who has earned a reputation as a game-changer in the league, was previously the most expensive player in PKL history when the Titans bought him for a record Rs. 2.605 crore during the 2023 auction.
While his individual performances were impressive last season, with 202 raid points to his name, the Telugu Titans struggled as a team, finishing at the bottom of the table and missing out on the playoffs. This season, expectations are high for Sehrawat and his team to turn things around.
Pawan Sehrawat and Telugu Titans in PKL 11: Performance so far
In the opening games of PKL 11, Pawan Sehrawat has once again proven why he is one of the most sought-after players in the league. He has racked up an impressive 23 raid points from just two matches, with Super 10s in both encounters. His average of 11.5 raid points per match highlights his consistency and ability to dominate the opposition.
The Telugu Titans kicked off the season with a thrilling victory over the Bengaluru Bulls, Sehrawat’s former team, where his raiding prowess played a crucial role. However, the Titans' momentum was short-lived as they suffered a defeat in their second match against Tamil Thalaivas. Despite the early setback, Pawan’s strong individual performance keeps the Titans hopeful for the rest of the season.
His return to the Telugu Titans comes with the hope of revitalizing the franchise, which has struggled in recent seasons. It will be interesting to see whether the team can capitalize on the performances of their captain and make a strong push for the playoffs. With Pawan Sehrawat in top form, the Titans’ journey in the tournament promises to be exciting.
