The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) is heating up, and the 47th match promises to bring some exciting action as Telugu Titans take on Gujarat Giants on 23rd September 2025 at 8 PM at the SMS Indoor Stadium, Jaipur. As we approach the final week of the Jaipur leg, both teams are chasing different goals – Titans are eyeing a playoff spot, while Giants are desperate to stay alive in the tournament.
Team Form & Current Scenario
Telugu Titans, led by Vijay Malik, are having a solid season so far. Sitting at 5th place with 4 wins from 9 matches, they have shown consistency and are carrying good momentum into this match. After a mixed start, they’ve now started to look like a balanced side with both raiders and defenders stepping up at crucial moments.
On the other hand, it has been a tough season for Gujarat Giants. With just 1 win in 7 matches, they are placed at the bottom of the points table. The two-time PKL finalists are struggling in both defense and attack. Their star defender and captain Mohammadreza Shadloui has not lived up to expectations, and the team will now be hoping for a turnaround before it’s too late.
Head-to-Head Record
This clash may look one-sided on paper – and historically, it is. Out of 12 matches played between these two teams, Gujarat Giants have won 10, while Telugu Titans have only managed 2 wins.
However, it’s important to note that Titans won the last encounter between the two. So, they will have the mental edge going into this game.
Players to Watch Out For
- Rakesh (Gujarat Giants)
The raider has been Gujarat’s most reliable performer this season. With Shadloui not at his best, Rakesh has taken responsibility in the raiding department. If the Giants are to win, Rakesh will need to outsmart the Titans’ defense and lead from the front once again. - Ankit (Telugu Titans)
After a disappointing show against Bengaluru Bulls, Ankit bounced back well against Tamil Thalaivas. The young raider has shown glimpses of his potential and will be key in breaking Gujarat’s defense. Coach Krishna Kumar Hooda will be banking on his growing confidence.
Possible Starting 7s
Gujarat Giants:
- Mohammadreza Shadloui (Captain)
- Lucky Sharma
- Aryavardhan Navale
- Rakesh

- Milad Jabbari
Telugu Titans:
- Shubham Shinde
- Vijay Malik (Captain)
- Ankit
- Bharat Hooda
- Ajit Pawar

Match Prediction
This match has the potential to be a closely fought battle. While the Giants have the historical upper hand, current form clearly favors the Titans.
The game will likely come down to two key factors:
- Whether Shadloui can finally deliver a solid defensive performance.
- Whether the Titans’ raiding duo of Bharat Hooda and Vijay Malik can break Gujarat’s defensive line.
If Shadloui steps up, Gujarat could make a comeback. But if he continues his poor form, the Titans might just dominate the game again.
Prediction: Telugu Titans are the favorites to win, but expect a close match if Gujarat sorts out its defense.
