Telugu Titans

Telugu Titans:

Telugu Titans will be eyeing a better campaign in Pro Kabaddi League 2025 (PKL 2025) after failing to qualify for the playoffs last season. They finished the 2024 season at the seventh spot with 66 points from 22 games. The Hyderabad-based outfit will be eager to bounce back in the much-awaited 12th season of the PKL.

With the tournament kicking off in Vizag, Titans’ second home, they will be enjoying good support and will look to capitalise on it by making a strong start. For the upcoming PKL season, Telugu Titans have managed to retain the core of the squad and have further bolstered it by making some smart additions during the auction. Titans do have a strong squad to challenge for the title and they will be desperate to go all the way.

The Telugu Titans squad is quite balanced with a good mix of experienced and young players. They managed to retain Vijay Malik for INR 51.50 lakh by using the Final Bid Match (FBM) card. Malik had an impressive campaign last season, collecting 172 raid points as well as 11 tackle points.

They have also signed up Bharat Hooda to boost their raiding. They have bolstered their defence by signing Shubham Shinde, Aman Antil and Rahul Dagar.
