Dabang Delhi Team News
Delhi have had a dominating season so far, winning twelve matches out of fifteen. The Joginder Singh-led team has lost just two matches and tied one. With the league entering the business half of the tournament, Delhi will look to carry on the form into the playoffs.
Delhi possesses a strong defensive unit with the likes of Joginder Narwal, Ravinder Pahal and Vishal Mane in their ranks. While their raiders Naveen Kumar and Chandran Ranjit are the ones who have led the offence.
The Delhi team have had outstanding performers this season and their top performer so far has been raider Naveen Kumar with 185 raid points. Naveen picked up another Super 10 (13th consecutive) as Delhi produced a composed performance against Gujarat Fortunegiants in their last game.
Captain Joginder Narwal is leading the team from the front in the raiding department with 40 tackle points in 15 games. He's been aptly supported by defender Ravinder Pahal, who has garnered a total of 40 tackle points.
Moreover, Meraj Sheykh (31) has been a reliable player in the outfit with his all-round game.
Telugu Titans' Team News
Siddharth Desai has been doing consistently well for his team but he isn't getting any support from the teammates. While Vishal Bhardwaj, league's best defender, is not getting much support in the defence.
Captain Abozar Mighani-led Titans would be hoping to learn from the mistakes against Bulls and comeback strongly against U Mumba.
Siddharth Desai (113 raid points in 14 games) completed his 100 raid points in this season against Delhi he would be aiming for a similar show on the mat. His brother Suraj Desai (42 raid points from 11 games) is the second-best raider for his side.
Titans' raiding department looks completely dependent on Siddharth and that has been the biggest reason for their dismal show.
Vishal Bhardwaj (53 tackle points in 14 games) is the number one defender of the season but he didn't find any support from the rest of the defenders. Skipper Abozar Mighani's form has also been tad disappointing.
