The Live Streaming for the game between the Telugu Titans vs Patna Pirates will be available on starsports.com from 20:00 IST. The match will be telecasted live from Gachibowli indoor Stadium, Hyderabad and will be aired on Star Sports 2 (HD) in English and Star Sports 3 (HD) in Hindi.
The Titans captain Rahul Chaudhari looks fit and raring to go after coming as a Substitute in the final moments of the game against the Pink Panthers. The man who has more raid points in the Pro kabaddi history should come good against the powerful Patna side. If Rahul attacks in the opposition defence then the likes of Fazel Atrachali and Dharmaraj Cheralathan will struggle in the opposition box. The do-or-die specialist Sukesh Hegde should make the performance speak with stunning raids.
The athletic Vinoth Kumar has been effective for the Titans in both the matches. Sandeep Narwal will face an uphill task against his old team and particularly against the unstoppable Pardeep Narwal. The youthful Telugu side looks vulnerable and if we take Sandeep Narwal out of the equation, no defender has hardly played more than 15 matches in Pro Kabaddi.
Can anybody stop Pardeep Narwal
The 19-year-old Pardeep Narwal has been a most destructive raider of Pro Kabaddi season 4. Even the experienced defenders Manjeet Chhillar, Ravindra Pahal and Rakesh Kumar have struggled to cope with the tricks and turns of Pardeep. He single-handedly held responsible for Patna’s attack in both the matches and has 25 raid points to his name. Moreover, he scored more than 20 points against Telugu Titans in season 3 the most by a player in a single match.
The defensive organisations of the Pirates have been second to none. Dharmaraj Cheralathan, on the right corner, has been solid in the new colours after experiencing a difficult season 3. The duo of Fazel Atrachali and Bajirao Hodage should tighten up the defence against Rahul Chaudhari.
The head to head battle is 4-2, in favour of Titans but the odds are against the season 2 semi-finalist this time. This match is a battle between the raiders Rahul Chaudhari and Pardeep narwal. Let’s see who comes out successful in the battle of attack.
