Day
2 of the Hyderabad leg and Telegu Titans faced Bengal Warriors at the
Gachibowli Indoor stadium. It was a match between the defense of the Bengal
Warriors against the attack of Telegu Titans. Who better to commence the game
than super raider Rahul Chaudhari. After earning 14 raid points in his last
match, Rahul Chaudhari looks to have gained form and will definitely be amongst
the top players of Pro Kabaddi League 2015. The defense of Bengal Warriors was
completely run over by the Telegu Titans’ attack. Bengal Warriors could have
been all out for the fastest time in this season but it was Mahendra Ganesh
Rajput who saved them the blushes on two occasions before Jang Kun Lee was
tackled but Deepak Niwas Hudda to finally enforce an all-out on the Bengal
Warriors in the 6th minute of this game. After 11 minutes, Telegu
Titans were leading 16-6 and Jang Kun Lee came in to raid. After an empty raid,
he was complacent in his return and was touched by 18 year old Sandeep. This
was a smart move on his part and showed his presence of mind. Badminton
stars Parupalli Kashyap and PV Sindhu were also enjoying some Kabaddi action. The
first half ended with Telegu Titans leading 27-9. If a comeback is in the
cards, it will have to be something special to turn around a deficit of 18
points. Bengal Warriors looked eager to close down the gap and a 2 point raid
from Mahendra Ganesh Rajput helped them. This raid was successful due to a rare
error from the baby-faced assassin, 18 year old Sandeep. Telegu star,
Venkatesh, was seen celebrating with his home side on every play. Ironically
Bengal Warriors who are known for their defense gained their first tackle point
in the 35th minute. The victim was the superstar, Rahul Chaudhari. Oh
no, wait a minute. It was thought of as a tackle by the Bengal Warriors but the
referee gave it as a super raid for Rahul Chaudhari. Even a review did not help
the Bengal Warriors’ lost cause. Finally, in the 37th minute, Bengal
Warriors managed to get a super tackle on Deepak Niwas Hudda. It was too little
too late as the Telegu Titans won 44-28 and in dominating fashion against the
Bengal Warriors. Deepak Niwas Hudda and Rahul Chaudhari earn points in double digits.
Sukesh Hegde and Sandeep also supported in attack and defense respectively.
Substitute, Mahendra Ganesh Rajput was the lone star for Bengal Warriors as he
earned a brilliant 14 points from his raids which also consisted of a super
raid. After this performance, it won’t be too long before he starts a match. Leaking
28 points in defense will be a worrying sign for Telegu Titans when they go up
against the stronger teams and that is when their mettle will be tested in the
Pro Kabaddi League 2015.
