| Telugu Titans | 12 | 1 | 9 | 2 | 18 | -46 |
Telugu Titans will take on the Bengaluru Bulls in match 74 of PKL 2021. A win will put the Bulls to the top of the table, while there is no way the Titans can rise up from the bottom spot.
The Bulls have fallen to two successive losses in the second half. If the first one against the Warriors was largely unlucky, the second against the Paltan was down to the fact that Pawan Sehrawat could not perform well. Randhir Singh Sehrawat could be eager to stop this slide at the earliest.
If the Titans’ first win of the season raised a lot of hopes, the Yellow Brigade put it all back to rest after falling to a seven-point loss against the U Mumba. They have found new stars in the raiding one after the other in the absence of Siddharth Desai but their defence continues to disappoint.
