In what turned out to be yet another action-packed evening in the Pro Kabaddi League, the Tamil Thalaivas totally humiliated the Haryana Steelers whereas the Jaipur Pink Panthers ended Dabang Delhi’s unbeaten run.
The Tamil Thalaivas extended their good run of form in the season with yet another commanding victory over the Haryana Steelers in the first game of the evening. The margin of loss summed up how humiliating the defeat was for the Steelers as they lost by a 19-point margin, with the scoreline reading 45-26 at the end of the game.
Manjeet was the star of the evening for the Thalaivas as he scored a Super 10 from a total of 10 raids. K Prapanjan also supported him well, scoring five points from four raids.
The duo of Surjeet Singh and Sagar came up with exceptional performances in the defence as well. Surjeet scored eight tackle points, whereas Sagar scored seven.
As far as things for the Steelers go, Vikash Khandola tried his best scoring nine points from eight raids. But he didn’t get as much support from the other Haryana players as Manjeet got from the Thalaivas teammates.

The Pink Panthers were equally resolute in defence as Delhi, but their offence made the real difference in the match as it allowed them to edge past Delhi by the barest of margins.
Jaipur ultimately won the match by 30-28 scoreline, with Deepak Hooda ending up as their highest scorer with nine points to his name.
