The first match of the Bengaluru leg will see, the home team Bengaluru Bulls go head to head against their South Indian counterparts Telugu Titans on Tuesday. The home team fought tooth and nail against U Mumba before losing narrowly by one point. The Rahul Chaudhari led Telugu Titans looks to continue their good run after beating U Mumba and Dabang Delhi. The season 2 semi-finalist have secured 19 points with 3 wins and 4 losses.
The live streaming for the game between the Bengaluru Bulls vs Telugu will be available on starsports.com from 20:00 IST. The match will be telecasted live from Sree Kanteerava Stadium and will be aired on Star Sports 2 (HD) in English and Star Sports 3 (HD) in Hindi.
The Bengaluru Bulls will rely a lot on Rohit Kumar to come good against the Telugu Titans. Rohit, the most valuable player in season 3, has put down a stellar display in the current season with 50 raid points in 7 matches. The 26-year-old has single-handedly carried the attack in season 4, and it’s high time for players like Pawan Kumar and Deepak Kumar to support the leading raider. No doubt, Rohit would like to put up another impressive showdown against the Telugu defence lead by Sandeep Narwal.
The expensive Mohit Chhillar is currently leading the chart with 29 tackle points. Both Surender Nada and Mohit Chhillar have been sublime on the respective corners as they imposed enough problems for the opposition attack. The duo will face a huge task against the in-form Rahul Chaudhari and Nilesh Salunke in today’s encounter. The experienced Ashish Kumar should compliment the defensive duo to control the dangerous looking Telugu attack.
Telugu Titans poor run by losing 4 matches upfront is compensated by two back- to-back wins against Mumbai and Delhi. The destructive Rahul Chaudhari who had two super tens in the last 4 matches is surely the player to watch out for in today’s battle. Whenever, the skipper stays off the mat, the team is uplifted by the presence of Nilesh Salunke. Sukesh Hegde’s uninspired form is still a concern for the Titans heading into today’s battle.
Sandeep Narwal on the right corner is rock solid for the Titans and the 23-year-old is equally supported by Sandeep Dhull and Vinod. Suddenly, The young Sandeep Dhull grabbed everybody’s attention with 19 raids points.The 20-year-old should battle it out against Rohit Kumar’s strong turns with diving hand touches.
The head to head stands 5-2 in favour of the home team and more importantly, the Bulls defeated the Titans in their previous clash. It’s going to be an intriguing battle between Telugu’s frightening attack against Bengaluru’s solid defence. Let’s see who comes out on top.
