Hello and welcome to the live score commentary of day 4 in the Pro Kabaddi League 2017, I am Ankit Banerjee and I will take you through the coverage of the match. This happens to be the second match of the double header Tuesday. Please like our Facebook page to never miss an update of the match. The debutantes Uttar Pradesh Yodhas will lock horns against a dejected Telugu Titans. Dejected, because they just won one and lost two of their home leg matches. Rahul Chaudhari and his men will surely look to rectify that. It may not be a worry now as this is a long tournament but starting well could hold the key.
This could be a high-scoring affair as both teams have star raiders. Nitin Tomar for that matter is the highest paid player in the PKL history. He was brought on board by the JSW Group for a whopping Rs. 93 lakhs. The real problem for the Titans is, one feels, the excessive amount of pressure on Rahul Chaudhari, this is never good for a team. The Yodhas will have the benefit of having two good raiders in Nitin Tomar and Mahesh Goud.
