Veera Sports, a business co-owned by several industrialists, is the franchise owner of the Kabaddi TELUGU TITANS team.
Owners
Mr. Srinivas Sreeramaneni of Coregreen Group, Mr. Goutham Reddy Nedurumalli of NED Group, and Mr. Mahesh Kolli of Greenko Group, are co-owners of the TELUGU TITANS.
The Kabaddi TELUGU TITANS are the only team in the Pro Kabaddi League with a non-Indian head coach. Iran's Gholamreza Mazandarani will train the Titans for the next season. He was a member of the Iranian national squad that won gold in the 2018 Asian Games.
The Titans paid 76 lakhs for Abozar Mohajermighani for the sixth season of the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League. His rookie season performance was epic so his captainship was almost expected.
He was a member of Iran's winning Kabaddi squad in the 2018 Asian Games. He was also part of the Iranian Kabaddi squad that won a silver medal in the Kabaddi World Cup.
The Titans have amplified their raiding department after investing over 4.22 crores. Rohit is displaying strong leadership qualities and will be a valuable asset to the Titans.
Ruturaj Koravi and Sandeep Kandola appear to be good corner defenders. But their nemesis may be the cover defense. Surender Singh is a fantastic defender, but has a tendency for recklessness. Singh will have to curb this propensity, particularly with young defenders on his team.
In the last Pro Kabaddi League auction, Desai was the most priced player. The TELUGU TITANS paid 1.45 crore for his services at the time. However, the group appeared to be a little unbalanced with insufficient support for Desai. The TELUGU TITANS have released the majority of their players in advance of the 2022 PKL Auction.
Following the auction patterns and retained players, there may be an unexpected change in the performance of TELUGU TITANS this season.
Abozar Mohajermighani is the captain. He is a Kabaddi player from Iran. The Gujarat Fortune giants acquired him as a result of his national team accomplishments. He was bought by the titans in the 2017 season. Abozar was a wrestler before turning to kabaddi as a full-time career.
Veera Sports, composed of Srini Sreeramaneni of Core Green Group, Mahesh Kolli of Greenko Group, and Gautham Nedurumalli of NED Group, owns the TELUGU TITANS. The team is a franchise PKL Squad
