Pro Kabaddi Season 4 2016: Mid-season report: Grading the teams’ performance so far

Telugu Titans: D

Telugu Titans haven’t exactly set the stage alight

After Bengal Warriors, the team that has disappointed the most has been the side from Down South – Telugu Titans. The franchise, captained by Rahul Chaudhari, lost their first three matches before staging a mini-revival to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

Ahead of the season, they made a splash in the market by loosening their purse strings to sign the defensive trio of Sandeep Narwal, Jasmer Singh Gulia, and Sandeep Dhull. The former is a very astute signing as he can also double up as a raider and support Rahul and SukeshHegde, who has been off-colour this season so far.

After a poor start, the Titans manage to win 3 out of their last 4 matches as their talisman Rahul Chaudhuri is slowly regaining form as he shrugs off the after-effects of a serious shoulder injury. The 23-year-old will prove key to his team’s chances of making their second appearance in the semi-final stages.
