Conclusion
The Telugu Titans have assembled a well-geared squad with depth and will look to excel under the Dronacharya Awardee, Krishan Kumar Hooda, as head coach. The Titans, however, will miss their former captain and top raider in Season 10 and 11, Pawan Kumar Sehrawat. The Titans’ defence showcases youth and depth, and the squad showcases a hunger to finally deliver a maiden PKL title to their fans.
