Pro Kabaddi 2022 Auction is just a few days away, and all eyes are on the retention list. Telugu Titans have decided to revamp their squad as no names were present on their list of Elite Retained Players. The likes of Siddharth Desai and Rohit Kumar have been released by the Titans, but they have retained a few youngsters from the previous season.
Telugu Titans had a disastrous season in 2021/22. Despite having some game-changers like Siddharth Desai and Rohit Kumar in the team, the Titans failed to make an impact. They played 22 matches and managed only one win. They lost 17 matches, whereas four matches ended in a tie.
Fans should note that the senior players of Telugu Titans missed a majority of the matches in the previous season owing to injury issues. The young brigade of the Titans took the matches close but could not provide the finishing touch on a majority of the occasions. As a result, they finished last on the points table.
