It's time for the brand new season and the 12th season of Pro Kabbadi League kick offs with the southern debry as the home team Telugu Titans lock horns against the Tamil Thalaivas in the first match of the 2025 PKL season on Friday, 29th August at Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad and the scheduled start time is 8:00 PM IST.
Head to Head Record: In the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), the Telugu Titans and Tamil Thalaivas have competed in 16 matches. The Tamil Thalaivas have the upper hand with 9 wins, while the Telugu Titans have won 6 matches, and one match ended in a tie.
In Season 11, the teams faced each other twice. Each team won one match, and the average total score for these two matches was 70.5. A close contest is expected between the teams, with the score for either team not anticipated to exceed 36 points.
Total Match Points Over 70.5 1.85
A new-look Telugu Titans team is set to take the mat in season 12. They have parted ways with their dynamic skipper, Pawan Sehrawat, and have made some valuable acquisitions. These include Bharat Hooda, who scored 102 raid points for the UP Yoddhas and is now a Titan.
He strengthens the Titans' raiding unit, which already boasts Vijay Malik and Ashish Narwal. Another key signing is the young all-rounder Jai Bhagwan, who had an ordinary 2024 season with the Bengaluru Bulls.
On the defensive end, the Titans have two new, aggressive corner defenders in Shubham Shinde and Aman. They have also retained their cover combination of Sagar and Ajit Pawar, who performed exceptionally well for them last season. With these changes, this Telugu Titans lineup appears more lethal and balanced than last season.
Telugu Titans Probable Starting 7: Bharat Hooda, Vijay Malik, Ashish Narwal, Sagar, Ajit Pawar, Shubham Shinde, Aman
Total Team Points Under 34.5 1.83
After a disappointing 2024 season, the Tamil Thalaivas have made significant changes to their roster, bringing in two of the best raiders in the Pro Kabaddi League: Arjun Deshwal and Pawan Sehrawat.
With Narender Khandola already on the team and Moein Shafaghi and Vishal Chahal on the bench, the Thalaivas have a formidable raiding unit. On the defensive end, Sagar Rathee will continue to lead the charge, but he will have a new corner combination, with either Himanshu or Rohit Beniwal taking the right cover spot.
In the cover region, Aashish and Anuj Gawade are the primary candidates for a chain hold. Moein Shafghai could also swap places with either of this cover defenders to make it work based on the combination.
Tamil Thalaivas Probable Starting Lineup - Arjun Deshwal, Pawan Sherawat, Narendar Kandola, Aashish, Anuj Gawde, Sagar Rathee, Himamshu.
Pawan Sehrawat Total Points Over 8.5 1.95
Total Team Points Over 36.5 1.83
The Tamil Thalaivas are the red-hot favorites to win this contest. Given their raiding lineup, it will be a truly tough ask for the Telugu Titans' defensive unit, which is relatively new. We are banking on the Tamil Thalaivas to decimate the Telugu Titans in the season opener in what looks like a rather one-sided contest.
