Hello and welcome to the live score coverage of the match between Telugu Titans and Bengaluru Bulls, I am Ankit Banerjee and I will take you through the coverage. Hope you enjoy it. Titans lost last night to Patna Pirates and Rahul Chaudhari was stranded at 499 points in Pro Kabaddi League history. Today as they face the formidable Bengaluru Bulls at home, the crowds will be backing the home side, that is for certain. This is the second match of the doubleheader Sunday and will start at 2100 hrs.
Rahul Chaudhari will have to see off Rahul Pahal who is a good defender and great with the ankle holds. For the visitors, Rohit Kumar will be up against Rohit Rana, which is bound to be a spellbinding battle. Ajay Thakur will be another raider who could send the Titans defence into a tizzy.
