PKL season nine has been a roller coaster ride for Gujarat Giants under Ram Mehar Singh. The team looked woefully out of form in the first half, but ever since South Korean Dong Geon Lee took over as the captain, they have won four matches on the trot and are still in the race to playoffs.

For a team that is plagued by injuries to top players, the bad form of just about everyone, and just two wins in two seasons, to be able to gather themselves on the mat is just about impossible. But Telugu Titans somehow managed to achieve the improbable on Saturday, with a win over U Mumba.

An ankle injury is the cause of Abhishek Singh's exclusion from the Telugu Titans roster in PKL 9. In PKL 2022-23, the star raider could have played a significant role in the team; Currently, his ankle is no longer in a plaster cast, and he will now continue his rehab before fully recuperating.

Telugu Titans is one team whose fortunes plummeted to new lows in the last few editions of the PKL. There was a time when the team would at least make it to the playoffs with ease, but the last season was nothing short of disastrous for them where no player worked for them, and they posted one win.
