Pro Kabaddi 2017: Telugu Titans vs Bengaluru Bulls live streaming info, TV telecast info and preview
Following a loss in their second game of the home leg, the Telugu Titans will look to get back to winning ways as they face the Bengaluru Bulls for the sixth game of the Pro Kabaddi League on the 30th of July at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Titans will be hoping for an improved performance from their skipper and lead raider Rahul Chaudhari, whose chase behind the 500-raid point record spelt doom for them against defending champions Patna Pirates.

However, they will be buoyed by the form of right-corner defender Vishal Bharadwaj, who collected his second High-5 this season. Nilesh Salunke played the perfect foil for Rahul in the first game but had to play the resurrector's role against Patna, on a day when Rahul was off-colour and against the likes of Ravinder Pahal and Ashish Sangwan, the Titans will hope for Rahul to get back into his usual form.
The Bulls, on the other hand, will hope for some fireworks from their skipper Rohit Kumar who was in great form last season and his partnership with Gurvinder Singh and Ajay Kumar to get them off to a winning start. This year, the defence will be led by right-corner Ravinder Pahal.

Telugu Titans vs Bengaluru Bulls prediction
After a shoddy display against Patna, one can expect Rahul Chaudhari to come out all guns blazing against the Bulls with just one point set to seal his spot in the history books.
If indeed the Titans skipper gets to his landmark nice and early, his partnership with Nilesh Salunke might prove to be a handful for the Bulls, who will look up to Pahal and the retained youngster Ashish Kumar to do the bulk of the defending.
In the previous season, Rohit Kumar did not have a secondary raider to back him up but this time with Gurvinder Singh and Ajay Kumar joining the squad, the attack presents a balanced look.
Having said that, the form of the raiders and Vishal Bharadwaj in the defence department will be a force to reckon with for the Bulls.
