Puneri Paltan reclaims top spot after thrashing Telugu Titans
Puneri Paltan climbed back to the top spot of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 table with a 39-33 win over Telugu Titans on Saturday, September 13. The team showed both strong raids and solid defence to hold off a late push from the Titans.
Gaurav Khatri and Vishal Bhardwaj stood out in defence, as each picked up a High Five. Their sharp tackles stopped the Titans’ raiders from turning the game around. On the attacking side, Pankaj Mohite and Aditya Shinde kept putting pressure on the other team.
The Titans fought hard, with Bharat Hooda scoring a Super 10 and Vijay Malik adding 7. Yet their defence failed to match the pace and power of Pune’s attack.
After the game, sports expert Rishank Devadiga pointed out how the Titans lacked structure in defence and were slow to react to Pune’s raiders. He praised Paltan’s captain, Aslam Inamdar, for leading the charge.
