The Jaipur Pink Panthers emerged victorious over the Gujarat Giants in their last match on the back of a well-rounded team effort through the combined raiding prowess of Arjun Deshwal, Neeraj Narwal and Shrikant Jadhav, while Reza Mirbagheri anchored their defensive unit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The match also marked a significant milestone for Panthers' skipper Deshwal, who joined an elite group by becoming just the third raider this season to surpass 100 raid points in PKL Season 11 at the Noida Indoor Stadium here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe one-point lead at halftime doesn't matter much. The match came into our control in the last 5-7 minutes, especially because our defence also played well,\u201d Deshwal said while reflecting on the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Their next clash is against the defending champions Puneri Paltan on Sunday, and Deshwal was wary of the challenge that they possess. \u201cThe match will be very close and high quality,\u201d said Deshwal, showing respect for their upcoming opponents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Referring to the Puneri Paltan's last match, where they squandered a lead to settle for a tie against the Dabang Delhi K.C., Deshwal said, \u201cIn their last match, they gave up a huge lead in the final 5-6 minutes, and this is something I am sure they will work upon before entering the mat against us.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe will come very thoughtfully prepared, and whatever we do, we'll do it with great attention,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This measured approach was evident in their recent victory against Gujarat Giants, where Deshwal led his team to gradually extend their initial one-point halftime lead. Reflecting on the win, he expressed satisfaction with his team's performance: \u201cI'm very happy with the team right now.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When questioned about his slightly slower start compared to previous matches where he typically achieved Super 10s early, Deshwal demonstrated his tactical awareness. \u201cIt's not necessary to get a Super 10 in the first five minutes. You have to play according to the opposing team,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
