Telugu Titans, who are yet to make their mark in finals, will start their fresh campaign in the eighth season of Pro Kabaddi League 2021 against Tamil Thalaivaa at the Grand Sheraton Whitefield in Bengaluru on December 22. The team has been part of the tournament since the inaugural season but they have failed to reach the finals till now.
Under the leadership of the newly signed and appointed skipper, Rohit Kumar, the team will be hoping to perform well and win their maiden title. They have a decent chance to fulfil their dream too as the team comprises rising raiders like Rajnish, Rakesh Gowda, along with experienced Rohit and Siddharth. In the absence of a specific all-rounder, Titans will be banking on Aakash Dattu, Akash Choudhary, Manish, Prince D and Tesaro Abe in their defense.
