The Telugu Titans and the Patna Pirates will take on each other for the 22nd match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season tonight (October, 28). The teams are scheduled to play each other at 9 PM in the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.
Tonight's clash will mark the fifth time the Titans’ have been in action this season, and they’ll be hoping to claim their second victory. The team got their campaign off to a winning start when they defeated the Bengaluru Bulls in Match No.1, but have been on a losing streak ever since, falling to the Tamil Thalaivas, Jaipur Pink Panthers, and Dabang Delhi K.C in their last three matches.

They are led by raider Pawan Sehrawat, who has consistently put in strong performances. The last time the Titans’ were in action, he was responsible for 18 of their 37 points. Sehrawat has found some support in Ashish Narwal, who scored nine raid points in the team's match against Delhi.
However, the Telugu Titans' defense has been shaky throughout the season so far, and it will continue to act as their Achilles heel until rectified.
On the other hand, the Patna Pirates have been in action on the mat only twice so far this year. They lost their season-opener to the Puneri Paltan in week one, but have since bounced back with a victory over the Tamil Thalaivas a handful of days ago.
For the Pirates, Devank has been a strong asset on the attack, claiming 25 points in their win over the Thalaivas. Captain Shubham Shinde leads their defense, while all-rounder Ankit Jaglan has also proven to be one to watch out for.
