Pro Kabaddi 2019 HIGHLIGHTS, Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Telugu Titans: Catch all the live updates from the Pro Kabaddi 2019 match between Jaipur Pink Panthers and Telugu Titans through News18 Sports’ live blog. Telugu Titans beat Jaipur Pink Panthers 24-21 in the second game of matchday 30 at the Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday.
It was the defence of both teams that called the shots in this low-scoring affair. Vishal Bhardwaj was outstanding for Telugu Titans as he picked up eight tackle points to guide his team to a big win. Dabang Delhi beat Bengaluru Bulls in the first game of the night at the same venue.
Jaipur are the table toppers and will come to consolidate their position at the top as they come against a resurgent Telugu Titans side. Telugu Titans, after a disastrous start to the season 7 campaign, have found their rhythm in the last couple of matches with their star raider Siddharth Desai coming to the party. Jaipur and Telugu are tied at 5-5 in their head-to-head record and have also played out a draw in the history of the tournament.
After succumbing to a loss against UP Yoddha, Jaipur Pink Panthers responded with a clinical performance against Tamil Thalaivas in a game where they led for practically the entirety of the match. While Deepak Hooda and Sandeep Dhull had relatively quiet outings, raider Nilesh Salunke and defender Vishal starred with seven raid points and four tackle points, respectively. Deepak Narwal also came off the bench to score three raid points while Pavan TR managed a crucial Super Tackle that helped Jaipur Pink Panthers avoid an All-Out.
While their star players have consistently delivered so far this season, coach Srinivas Reddy will be extremely pleased by the fact that the rest of his squad can stand up and make themselves count in their team’s moment of need. The coach will be hopeful that the team continues their stellar form so far and maintains its lead at the top of the standings.

Telugu Titans have finally found some good form and have managed two wins and a tie in their previous three outings. Their last one against the Haryana Steelers was easily their best performance of the season as they beat the northerners by 11 points, making it their biggest win of the season. The star of the show was ‘Baahubali’ Siddharth Desai. He looked the raider that won the Best Debutant Award last season, ploughing through tackles and scoring touch points at will in a mammoth 18-point performance that led his side to victory.
Desai was tackled just once in the match, as Haryana Steelers defenders were left gasping for answers against the powerful raider. The defence, too, enjoyed a solid outing with Corner duo Abozar Mohajermighani and Vishal Bhardwaj combining for six tackle points on the night. With Desai and the defence in top form, Telugu Titans will be a force to be reckoned with in their upcoming matches.
