The Telugu Titans have sent shockwaves through the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) by releasing their star raider and captain, Pawan Sehrawat, along with several other prominent players ahead of the upcoming Season 11. The team’s decision comes after a disappointing Season 10 where they finished at the bottom of the league. This move signals a dramatic shift in strategy for the Titans, who are determined to turn their fortunes around.
The Hyderabad-based franchise has brought in Krishan Kumar Hooda as their new head coach, marking a new era for the team. Under Hooda’s leadership, the Titans have chosen to retain only two elite players from their previous squad, Shankar Bhimraj Gadai and Ajit Pandurang Pawar. This bold move signifies a fresh start, emphasizing a focus on rebuilding and establishing a new identity.
The Titans have also retained three existing new young players: Ankit Omkar Narayan Patil, Praful Sudam Zaware, and Sanjeevi S. This suggests a commitment to fostering young talent and building a strong core for the future.
The PKL Season 11 auction is scheduled for August 15 and 16 in Mumbai, where the Titans will look to assemble a new squad that can challenge for the championship. With a new coach, a revamped roster, and a clear focus on balance, the Telugu Titans are poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
