The Telugu Titans got their third consecutive win of the season after overcoming the Tamil Thalaivas in a nail-biting contest. Led by Pawan Sehrawat’s 12 points and contributions from Ashish Narwal and Vijay Malik, the Titans got over the line despite Sachin Tanwar scoring a mammoth 17 points for the Thalaivas.
It was a watchful start from both sides as Ashish Narwal and Narender Kandola exchanged early blows to get the ball rolling. That was until the most expensive player in PKL history and the most expensive player in the auction this year took centre-stage. After a tight start, it was the hi-flying Pawan Sehrawat who sprang into action to inflict an ALL OUT on the Tamil Thalaivas, giving the Telugu Titans a four-point lead.
Sachin Tanwar didn’t waste much time to make his presence felt either, managing a Super Raid to close the gap for the Tamil Thalaivas to two points after the first quarter of the game. However, it was the duo of Pawan Sehrawat and Ashish Narwal that kept the Titans in the lead, as the two combined for 10 touch points in the first half, with the score at 20-17 after the first 20 minutes.
Slowly but steadily, the Tamil Thalaivas managed to claw their way back into the contest in the second half. Sachin Tanwar reached a significant milestone of 1,000 raid points and followed it up by completing his Super 10 in the game, giving his side a brief lead. Despite the Tamil Thalaivas building on that momentum and inflicting an ALL OUT, Ashish Narwal made sure that the two teams stay neck and neck at 25 points each.
After a quiet period in the second half, the heavyweight battle between two star raiders continued. The hi-flying Pawan Sehrawat showed his class once more, scoring a Super Raid to complete his Super 10 and put the Telugu Titans back on top by 3 points. That was before Sachin Tanwar got a two-point raid of his own, keeping his side in the hunt a high octane contest.
There was no stopping the most expensive player in the PKL this year as he completed 17 raid points that put the pressure back on the Telugu Titans. With the game coming down to the wire and only one point separating the two sides, it was Ankit who executed a superb tackle on Sachin Tanwar to seal the deal for the Telugu Titans.
