Desai claimed 12 raid points and Sethpal bagged 8 tackle points for Haryana Steelers as they emerged victorious. Thiyagarajan Yuvaraj (6 tackle points) and Sanjay (5 tackle points) excelled for Patna Pirates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Playing their first home game of the season, Haryana Steelers began on a positive note and had a 5-1 lead in no time. However, Patna Pirates, who had chosen to rest their regular starters and played a fresh line-up, struck back through a Super Tackle from Rohit and a fantastic Super Raid from Anuj Kumar. Both sides vied for the lead thereon and neither managed to open up a sizeable lead as they went into the break locked at 13-13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Patna Pirates' defence sprang into action early in the second half as K. Prapanjan was flattened on the mat and Haryana Steelers were reduced to 2 men. Rahul Sethpal offered his side some hope with a strong Super Tackle, but it was only a matter of time before the Patna Pirates got the All-Out. It took a marvellous Super Raid from Rohit as he outwitted all three Haryana Steelers defenders to give his side the lead at 21-18 in the 26th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Siddharth put Haryana Steelers ahead in the very next raid with a stunning 4-point Super Raid as the scoreline read 22-21 in the home team\u2019s favour. Patna Pirates, the three-time champs, dealt only in Super Tackles post that as they raced to a 29-26 lead with Thiyagarajan bagging a High 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Siddharth came to Haryana Steelers\u2019 rescue once again as he went through the opposition defence before a strong ankle hold from Mohit on Sanjay led to an All-Out and put the home team ahead at 33-30. With 4 minutes left, the Haryana Steelers slowed the pace of the game and held on to assure themselves of a berth in the playoffs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/haryana-steelers-beat-patna-pirates-at-home-to-seal-their-spot-in-playoffs.jpg", "alt_img": "Haryana Steelers beat Patna Pirates at home to seal their spot in playoffs", "alt_title": "Haryana Steelers beat Patna Pirates at home to seal their spot in playoffs", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Haryana Steelers Beat Patna Pirates At Home To Seal Their Spot In Playoffs On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Haryana Steelers Beat Patna Pirates At Home To Seal Their Spot In Playoffs, Tau Devilal Indoor Stadium: Siddharth Desai and Rahul Sethpal starred for Haryana Steelers as they snapped up the final playoff.", "seo_keywords": "Haryana Steelers, Patna Pirates, Pro Kabaddi League, Tau Devilal Indoor Stadium, Siddharth Desai, Rahul Sethpal, Thiyagarajan Yuvaraj, Super Tackle, Super Raid, Anuj Kumar, The Patna Pirates, Super Tackles", "tag": "", "tagging": "Haryana Steelers, Patna Pirates, Pro Kabaddi League, Tau Devilal Indoor Stadium, Siddharth Desai, Rahul Sethpal, Thiyagarajan Yuvaraj, Super Tackle, Super Raid, Anuj Kumar, The Patna Pirates, Super Tackles", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "haryana-steelers-beat-patna-pirates-at-home-to-seal-their-spot-in-playoffs", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "808", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-02-16 21:50:03", "updated": "2024-02-16 21:50:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Haryana Steelers, Patna Pirates, Pro Kabaddi League, Tau Devilal Indoor Stadium, Siddharth Desai, Rahul Sethpal, Thiyagarajan Yuvaraj, Super Tackle, Super Raid, Anuj Kumar, The Patna Pirates, Super Tackles", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-16 21:50:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "867645", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/haryana-steelers-beat-patna-pirates-at-home-to-seal-their-spot-in-playoffs-13265" }
