Expectations for the upcoming season
In the last three PKL seasons, Telugu Titans finished in the 11th, 12th, and 12th positions, respectively. Titans are desperate to change their latest under-performed status in the 11th season. Although the Indian skipper Pawan Sehrawat was the third most raid points earner (202 points) in the last season, he didn't get enough support from his other teammates.
Manjit and Vijay Malik will have to play strong roles in the new season along with the retained talents Praful Zaware and Sanjeevi S. Krishan Dhull is a big-name signing in their defense who finished the last season with the second most tackle points. Also, Ajit Pawar and Milad Jabbari will have to play better roles for the team.
