Match 95 is all set to feature an exciting face-off between <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong> and <strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong> on <strong>Saturday, 18th October 2025<\/strong>, at <strong>8:30 PM IST<\/strong> at the <strong>Thyagaraj Sports Complex in Delhi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>Saturday night special<\/strong> will be crucial for both teams \u2014 <strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong> have already sealed their <strong>spot in the playoffs<\/strong> and the first qualifier, while <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong> are in a fight to lock their place in the Top 4. Both teams have had different journeys this season, but what lies ahead is a full-throttle kabaddi clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Form &amp; Standings of Both Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/telugu-titans\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1704\">Telugu Titans<\/a><\/strong> have had a mixed season so far. They are currently sitting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/table\/pro-kabaddi-points-table-2025-pkl-12\/\" data-type=\"sp_table\" data-id=\"42\">3rd on the points table<\/a><\/strong> with <strong>8 wins from 15 matches<\/strong>. After enjoying their <strong>best-ever winning streak<\/strong> in PKL history earlier this season, the Titans have now lost two games on the trot. The recent defeats have exposed some inconsistencies in their defensive setup, and the team will be eager to bounce back with a win that can boost their playoff hopes and rebuild confidence before the knockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/puneri-paltan\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1702\"> Puneri Paltan<\/a>, on the other hand, are flying high. With <strong>13 wins in 16 matches<\/strong>, they are placed <strong>at the top of the table<\/strong> and have already <strong>qualified for the playoffs<\/strong>, specifically securing a spot in <strong>Qualifier 1<\/strong>. The team is on a <strong>seven-match unbeaten run<\/strong>, and even with the playoffs in the bag, they\u2019re not slowing down. In fact, they\u2019ve started <strong>rotating their bench<\/strong> \u2014 giving game time to players like <strong>Vaibhav Rabade<\/strong> over regular starters like <strong>Gurdeep Sangwan<\/strong> to test their depth and prepare for any situation in the knockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Telugu Titans vs Puneri Paltan Head-to-Head Record<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These two sides have met <strong>23 times<\/strong> in PKL history, and the rivalry has mostly tilted in Puneri Paltan\u2019s favour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Matches Played<\/strong>: 23<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puneri Paltan Wins<\/strong>: 14<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Telugu Titans Wins<\/strong>: 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tied<\/strong>: 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Puneri Paltan have <strong>won 10 of the last 12 encounters<\/strong>, showing their clear upper hand over the Titans in recent years. If history is anything to go by, Paltan fans will be the more confident heading into this clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to Watch Out For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Shubham Shinde (<strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Titans\u2019 defense has been one of the major talking points this season, and <strong>Shubham Shinde<\/strong> has been the backbone of that setup. With support from <strong>captain Vijay Malik<\/strong> and <strong>Bharat Hooda<\/strong> in raiding, the team has looked balanced. But inconsistency from secondary raiders and a struggling backline in recent matches \u2014 especially in the loss against U Mumba \u2014 have hurt them. Shubham\u2019s performance will be critical to slow down Paltan\u2019s raiding machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Gaurav Khatri (<strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most consistent and aggressive defenders in PKL 12, <strong>Gaurav Khatri<\/strong> has already achieved <strong>50 tackle points<\/strong>, becoming the third defender this season to reach that milestone. Known for his fearless tackling style, Gaurav has become the defensive pillar of the Paltan. He will once again be tasked with stopping Titans\u2019 primary raiders \u2013 Vijay Malik and Bharat Hooda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Probable Starting 7s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shubham Shinde<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vijay Malik<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bharat Hooda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ajit Pawar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chetan Sahu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avi Duhan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gaurav Khatri<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aslam Inamdar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abinesh Nadarajan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aditya Shinde<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vaibhav Rabade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pankaj Mohite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vishal Bhardwaj<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect from This Match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This match is important for <strong>different reasons<\/strong> for both sides. For <strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong>, it\u2019s about keeping their winning momentum going and testing the depth of their squad. For <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong>, it\u2019s a must-win game to boost their playoff chances and stop their recent slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Paltan are expected to go in with confidence, having won most of their recent encounters against the Titans. However, Telugu cannot be taken lightly, especially if their raiding department fires on all cylinders and the defense finds its rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect a <strong>strategic contest<\/strong>, where defense might just play a more important role than raiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at current form, <strong>Puneri Paltan are clear favourites<\/strong> to win this clash. Their recent consistency, squad depth, and bench strength put them in a strong position. Telugu Titans will need to bring out something special to upset the table-toppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless we see a sudden turnaround in form, it\u2019s <strong>likely that Puneri Paltan will emerge victorious<\/strong> and further tighten their grip on the top position of the points table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Telugu Titans vs Puneri Paltan: When &amp; Where to Watch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 Match 95 will feature Telugu Titans taking on Puneri Paltan on Saturday, 18th October 2025, at 8:30 PM IST.
