Unfortunately, things have been completely different for the Tamil Thalaivas franchise. In an unexpected turn of events, reports suggest that there has been a potential rift between the franchise and their skipper, Pawan Sehrawat.
Rift between Pawan Sherawat and Tamil Thalaivas?
As per the latest developments, there has been a potential rift between the Tamil Thalaivas and the Indian Kabaddi captain, Pawan Sehrawat. Sehrawat has not traveled with the side for the Jaipur leg.
The fans quickly noticed the star raider's absence from the training videos and from the squad, which created a buzz over social media.
The Tamil Thalaivas bagged the India skipper for a whopping 59.50 Lakhs. The franchise went all-out for the veteran in a dramatic bidding war that unfolded during the PKL 12 auctions.

Sehrawat has been one of the biggest Kabaddi stars in India lately and has created a wonderful fan base. His absence from the side could largely affect the side and the PKL.

Thalaivas confirms Sehrawat ruled out of the season due to disciplinary reasons
In a recent development, the PKL franchise Tamil Thalaivas have confirmed that their skipper, Pawan Sehrawat, has been sent home due to disciplinary reasons and misconduct.

Tamil Thalaivas are in total disarray. How will Sehrawat's absence affect the side?
The Tamil Thalaivas have had a very poor start to the season. With just one win in three appearances, the side sits in the 10th position on the table. Sehrawat has collected just 22 raid points in his 3 appearances and has failed to stamp his authority.
However, if the Indian start has indeed been released from the squad, it would be a huge setback for the franchise. Losing their skipper and their main raider in the current situation could well make the season even worse for the Thalaivas.
In Sherawat's absence, Arjun Dehwal, the vice-captain of the side, will have to perform a heavy duty along with the other young players.
