Titans were all out in the end but they are not too far behind Gujarat. There is an entire half left. It has been a see-saw affair thus far and we can expect more of the same in the second half.
Rahul Chaudhari had managed to a raid which led to an all out for Gujarat. Titans led 9-6 after that but since then, Gujarat have fought back, so much that Titans are on the verge of an all out now.
Neck and neck in the early exchanges. Gujarat had taken a 3-2 lead before Titans got two consecutive points to go ahead,
By the end of their home leg last season, Telugu Titans were ragged. Their defence was in tatters and their attack, which was too dependent on Rahul Chaudhari was in shambles. It didn't help them that their home leg was the opening week and they carried forward that form. This season, they are a different team. If they have good results in this home leg, they can actually go ahead and reach the playoffs or even top their Zone table.
