Telugu Titans vs Puneri Paltan Prediction: Who will win today's PKL Match No. 43?
Match No. 43 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 will see the Telugu Titans take on the Puneri Paltan in what promises to be an exciting encounter. The teams will be in action on Saturday (November 9) at 8 pm at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Titans had a slow start to their season, winning their opening match but losing the next three. However, they have slowly found their rhythm and the team is currently on a three-match winning streak, having beaten the Patna Pirates, Bengaluru Bulls, and the Tamil Thalaivas in the last 10 days.
For the Telugu Titans, Ashish Narwal and Pawan Sehrawat have been impressive on the attack, with the latter having claimed the third-highest raid points this season. However, their recent change in fortune can be credited to the improvement in their defense.
The Titans had a nearly non-existent defense when they went on their three-match losing streak, but the likes of Ajit Pawar, Krishnan Dhull, Ankit, and Sagar Rawal have rectified that now, making the team one to watch out for when they play.
Meanwhile, the Puneri Paltan have been incredible this PKL season. The defending champions have played seven matches so far and have lost only one. The team has shown the same form it did when it took the trophy last year and has delivered impressive performances whenever the players are on the mat.
The last time they were in action, the Paltan decimated the Gujarat Giants, winning 49-30. Raider Pankaj Mohite captained Pune for this encounter, scoring eight points. Aiding him on the attacking forefront was Akash Shinde, who scored 11 points. On the defensive end, Gaurav Khatri, Aman, and Abinesh Nadarajan were a lethal unit, scoring five points each.
