Season IX

After a disastrous last season where they only won one match out of all possible 22 matches, Telugu Titans decided to only retain Rajnish, Ankit Beniwal and a few other NYP(s) (New Young Player(s)) ahead of the season 9 auction. It was not shocking to any fans because of the last season. Even Rohit Kumar who was the captain last season and their record signing Siddharth Desai are shown the back door. It will be interesting to see how they will use their FBM cards during the auction.
