Tamil Thalaivas will cross swords with Telugu Titans in the 21st match of Pro Kabaddi League 2023 at Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru on December 13, Wednesday.
Led by Sagar, Tamil Thalaivas are currently holding the 11th position in the standings with one win and a loss in two encounters so far. Their most recent game was against Bengal Warriors on December 10 when they suffered a defeat by 38-48 scoreline.
Ajinkya Pawar leads the raiding department for Thalaivas. He bagged a Super 10 in the first game against Dabang Delhi KC and helped his side to win the game by 42-31. He was supported by Narender with six successful raids.
In the second game against Bengal Warriors, Ajinkya Pawar continued his dominance with six successful raids. Narender played a perfect anchor role, racking up seven successful raids. With no proper defense on their side, Thalaivas are struggling to have a balanced gameplay.
On the other hand, Telugu Titans are having a disastrous season, suffering from a hat-trick of defeats. In their most recent game, they were beaten by UP Yoddhas 33-48 with Pawan racking up eight successful raids. They will be aiming turn things around in the next game.
In their first game against Gujarat Giants, captain Pawan Sehrawat bagged a Super 10, but it went in vain as they lost the game 32-38. In the second game, they staged a defeat (28-50) over Patna Pirates. Pawan continued his good momentum with seven successful raids, but wasn't supported well by his teammates.

Both teams are having a below average season in terms of their defense. However, having defeated Dabang Delhi KC, Tamil Thailavas present themselves as strong contenders to win this encounter over struggling Telugu Titans.
Despite a bad season, Telugu Titans skipper Pawan Sehrawat has been consistently giving good enough points in the riding department. He can be a pretty good captaincy choice in mega league teams.
