Dabang Delhi K.C. vs Telugu Titans Probable Playing 7s

Dabang Delhi K.C

Naveen Kumar, Delhi’s star raider, continued his impressive run against the Tamil Thalaivas in their most recent fixture. The ace raider mustered 15 points in the game, bagging his 26th consecutive Super 10. He was well supported by the likes of Jeeva Kumar and Sandeep Narwal.

While Delhi have been doing well, they will only want their veteran players like Manjeet Chillar, Joginder Narwal and others to get better going forward. The team is likely to start with the same team.

Probable Playing 7: Ashu Malik, Naveen Kumar, Manjeet Chillar, Sandeep Narwal, Vijay Malik, Joginder Narwal (C), Jeeva Kumar.

Telugu Titans

The Telugu Titans will be disappointed to have lost 30-31 to the Patna Pirates last time out, coming close to winning their first game. Ankit Beniwal led the charge for them once again with 10 points. Rakesh Gowda, the youngster, also impressed with seven points.

However, the form of skipper Rohit Kumar continues to be a concern for the Titans. They are dependent on Ankit and Rakesh and need to find their rhythm as a unit.

Probable Playing 7: Rohit Kumar (C), Surinder Singh, Prince D, Rakesh Gowda, Ankit Beniwal, Ruturaj Koravi, Sandeep Kandola.

Today’s PKL Match Prediction

Dabang Delhi K.C. start as firm favorites to win this clash. They have performed well so far, with Naveen Kumar carrying his scintillating form.

Delhi have a good mix of young players along with an experienced lot, which has been reflected in their performances as well. Based on their current form, they will be brimming with confidence, particularly against an under-fire Telugu Titans line-up.

The Telugu Titans have only played well in patches, which is why they have not been able to win games. They have crumbled in pressure situations.

Siddharth Desai missing out and Rohit Kumar not performing have cost the Telugu Titans dearly. They have a team consisting of exciting young talents, but they will have to learn to deal with pressure and clinch crucial moments.

Prediction: Dabang Delhi K.C. are likely to win this encounter.
