The Telugu Titans celebrated their first Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 win, beating Jaipur Pink Panthers 37-32 in front of their home crowd in Vizag. The Titans were led by Vijay Malik, Bharat Hooda, and Ajit Pawar's High Five. Despite the team's efforts, the Titans remain at the bottom of the points table. Will this win inspire them to fight and climb up the rankings?

The Telugu Titans, known for their defensive prowess, showcased why they are known as one of the best defensive units in the league. The Titans' defense was instrumental in their victory, as they managed to hold the Jaipur Pink Panthers to just 32 points, with none of their players scoring over 10 points.

Malik, who was awarded the "Emerging Player of the Season" award last year, lived up to the expectations this game. He scored 8 points, including 2 crucial tackle points in the dying minutes of the game that sealed the Titans' victory.

The Panthers, who were looking to continue their good start to the season, suffered their second loss of the season. Their captain, Deepak Niwas Hooda, scored 9 points, while debutant Rajvardhan Singh didn't perform as well as expected, scoring only 4 points.

While the Titans still have a long way to go if they want to qualify for the playoffs, this victory may be a turning point for them. They will look to carry this momentum to their next game against the Haryana Steelers and hope to climb up the points table.

The season is still young, and any team can make a comeback if they manage to string together a few wins. With other strong teams like the Patna Pirates and Bengal Warriors looking strong, it'll be interesting to see if the Titans can continue this momentum.

Go!
