Telugu Titans overpower Patna Pirates in PKl

 Sukesh Hegde and Prashant Rai starred in Telugu Titans’ fifth win in Pro Kabaddi league Season 2 as they overpowered Patna Pirates 34-22 at the Pataliputra Sports Complex on Thursday.

The win takes the Titans’ tally to 26 points as they retained their second spot in the table. Patna with only one win under their belt in four matches stay in the last position with just seven points.

The teams were level in the initial stages with the lead changing hands. The half-time score of 13-12 in favour of the visitors promised a humdinger of a contest but the hosts simply collapsed under the relentless pressure exerted by the Titans’ attacking duo.

In the post-match press conference, both team owner Rajesh V Shah and captain Rakesh Kumar were optimistic of better fortunes for their team.

“This was the opening game of our home leg. We will not lose confidence after this loss to Telugu Titans,” said Rajesh V Shah on his team’s loss.
