All you need to know about match number 35 of PKL 2021 between Dabang Delhi and Telugu Titans.
Ruturaj Koravi and Naveen Goyat
'The Naveen Express' will be marching towards the Telugu Titans in match number 35 of PKL season eight. It is the battle between Joginder Narwal's undefeated Dabang Delhi KC and Rohit Kumar led winless Telugu Titans. So let's unfold the detailed preview of the clash between two franchises who had a contrasting journey from each other so far.
Strategic Takeaways
Sandeep Narwal's late heroics averted an upset in their last fixture for Dabang Delhi. The Arjuna Awardee saved his team's undefeated streak to suffice their second tied outcome of the season. The inconsistency of Delhi's defence has been a serious concern for coach Krishan Kumar Hooda. Sloppy errors in the last raids of the previous two games kept Telugu Titans away from their first victory of the season. Titans have lost the balance of their roster after the unavailability of Siddharth 'Bahubali' Desai due to an injury.
Head to Head
This rivalry has been one-sided all way as both teams dominated each other in the heap. Telugu Titans had a nine-match undefeated streak over the capital franchise since the inception of this bout. Dabang Delhi registered their first win over Titans in the sixth edition of PKL and are laying a three-match winning streak against their counterparts.

Naveen Goyat vs Telugu Titans defence
Telugu Titans' winning chances are dependent on how they manage to halt 'The Naveen Express'. Naveen Kumar Goyat is leading the raiding charts of season eight with a hefty margin from his competitors. He has Super 10 against every opponent he faced this season. It will be a tough test for the Telugu Titans defence against this Hurricane of the Capital franchise.
