Pawan Sehrawat Gives His Take on PKL 12 Opener Against Telugu Titans

Pawan Sehrawat returns to Tamil Thalaivas for PKL Season 12, starting August 29 in Vizag against former team Telugu Titans. After an injury-hit stint in Season 9, he’s eager to finish unfinished business. Calling the Thalaivas well-balanced, Pawan promises an aggressive start and looks forward to playing in front of passionate home fans again.

After making his return to Tamil Thalaivas, star raider Pawan Sehrawat is gearing up for an emotional and high-stakes opener in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 against Telugu Titans on August 29 in Vizag. This clash holds special significance for Pawan, who missed most of Season 9 due to injury and spent the last two seasons with the Titans.

Now back in Thalaivas colors, he is determined to “finish what he started,” leading a balanced squad featuring Arjun Deshwal, Narender Kandola, and Nitesh Kumar. Facing his former team in their home city adds extra spice, though Pawan expects warm support from Titans fans as well. His counterpart, Vijay Malik, will spearhead the Titans’ raiding unit and is confident that starting the season at home, with their passionate fan base, will give them a strong advantage.

Both raiders stressed that Season 12 will be aggressive and attack-focused, calling it “a raider’s league now.” Pawan also looks forward to playing in Chennai, something he missed earlier, while Vijay emphasized unity and leadership in the Titans’ camp. The duo paid tribute to PKL legend Pardeep Narwal following his retirement, vowing to keep the entertainment high for fans. The southern derby promises to set the tone for the season.
