Telugu Titans Team in Pro Kabaddi League 2018: List of All Players Bought by Hyderabad Franchise for VIVO PKL 6

Telugu Titans went into the Pro Kabaddi League 2018 (PKL 2018) auction after retaining Nilesh Salunke, Mohsen Maghsoudloujafari, and defender Vishal Bharadwaj. At the auctions, they picked raider Rahul Chaudhari after an instance bidding war with Dabang Delhi. Using the Final Bid Match (FBM) card, Titans bought the raider back and had to empty their purse for it. Apart from him, the Telugu Titans lineup boasts of Iranian defender Abozar Mighani and Farhad Milagardhan as well. Dabang Delhi Team in Pro Kabaddi League 2018.

Apart from these players, the Hyderabad-based franchise picked new faces in Kamal Singh, Ankit Beniwal, Anand and Rakshith from the New Young Players (NYP) category as they eye their maiden Pro Kabaddi League title. Though the all-rounders' department remains a weak link in the Titans team after they picked up only Mahender Reddy and Armaan.

Out of five seasons, the second edition was the best for Telugu Titans. They finished third during that season. Last year, Titans ended on the fifth spot in Zone B with just seven wins from 22 matches and thus failed to qualify for the next round. However, when it comes to overall win percentage, Telugu Titans boasts of 70% success rate, the most in the league. They for some reason fail to make it count towards the end part of the tournament.  U Mumba Team in Pro Kabaddi League 2018.
