Telugu Titans beat Gujarat Fortunegiants 30-24 in the second game of matchday 19 at the EKA Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad on Sunday. In the first match of the day, Haryana Steelers beat Bengaluru Bulls 33-30 at the same venue.
Gujarat’s defence was guilty of being too shabby in the first half but even as Parvesh Bhainswal stepped up in the second half to get a total of seven tackle points, it was not enough. Vishal Bhardwaj was the star for Telugu Titans in the defence as he got 7 tackle points in seven attempts and was well supported in the other corner by Abozar Mighani. Siddharth Desai also picked up seven raid points for the Titans. This was the fourth straight loss for Gujarat while a first win of the season for the Titans.
Gujarat Fortunegiants had an exceptional start to their season, completing a hat-trick of victories before slumping to three consecutive defeats. Their most recent defeat came against Tamil Thalaivas in the first match of their home leg. Rohit Gulia – the team’s leading raid point scorer so far led the raiders yet again in that match with a 9-raid-point performance. Captain Sunil Kumar, too, had an excellent outing, scoring a High 5 for his team. However, none of the other defenders managed to impress in that match as the team scored only 9 tackle points. They will want to tighten that aspect of their game as they take on Telugu Titans in order to give some delight to their home fans.
Telugu Titans lost their previous match to Bengaluru Bulls but will be buoyed by the performances of their star raider Siddharth Desai, who scored a Super 10, and Vishal Bhardwaj, who recorded a High 5. Desai, in particular, will be key to the team’s fortunes going forward as he can easily help his team take control of a match when he is in top gear. Captain Abozar Mohajermighani has scored only 9 tackle points in 6 appearances so far and will want to improve on that in the upcoming match so he can lead the charge in the defence. Raider Armaan has also looked good in the opportunities he had so far and might be a key man in the encounter against Gujarat Fortunegiants.
