Speaking about their victory, star raider Siddharth Desai said, “The Telugu fans always support us, regardless of our performance. The fans drove us to put up a good performance during our game against U Mumba. Our defenders and raiders played very well and that’s why we won the game.”
Meanwhile, defender Parvesh Bhainswal expressed, “We’ve won a match after a long time and we are really happy. And we are glad that we could get this win on our home ground. The fans motivated us to play better and the team played as one unit against U Mumba.”
The Telugu Titans Head Coach Venkatesh Goud lauded his team’s defense unit, “In the 5-6 matches before our game against U Mumba, the defense unit was making a few mistakes in the last phases of those games.
