On the mat, the final lived up to the billing. Devank Dalal opened the scoring for Bhiwani Bulls with a bonus point, but Vijay Malik and Rakesh Singh responded strongly for Rohtak Royals with sharp raids and calculated aggression. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Early dominance from the Royals saw them inflict the first all-out, racing to a 9\u20133 lead, before Bhiwani clawed their way back through Devank\u2019s fearless raids and a timely revival by Sourav. The contest swung relentlessly, with both teams neutralising star raiders through collective defence, ending the first half with Rohtak holding a 20\u201316 advantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The second half turned into a tactical chess match. Bhiwani Bulls surged ahead briefly as Parvesh Malik completed a High-5, while the Royals relied on discipline and patience to absorb pressure. Despite Devank battling injury and being repeatedly targeted in do-or-die situations, the Bulls stayed in contention till the final moments. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Rakesh Singh\u2019s calm raids and Sandeep Narwal\u2019s decisive late tackles, including back-to-back stops in the final seconds, proved decisive as Rohtak Royals closed out the match 32\u201330 to lift the historic title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The grand finale was attended by Haryana Cabinet Minister Krishna Lal Panwar, Kuldeep Dalal Ji (Chairman, AKAH), Chetan Joshi (General Secretary, Uttarakhand), and Kumar Vijay Ji (Chairman, Bihar Kabaddi Association), all of whom praised KCL\u2019s impact on grassroots and professional kabaddi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cKabaddi is Haryana\u2019s pride, and KCL has strengthened that legacy with a world-class platform,\u201d said Krishna Lal Panwar, while Kuldeep Dalal Ji added, \u201cThis league is building the future of Indian kabaddi by giving young players exposure under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Calling the final a landmark moment, Chetan Joshi noted, \u201cKCL has set a benchmark for domestic kabaddi competitions in India,\u201d and Kumar Vijay Ji echoed the sentiment, saying, \u201cThe passion, quality and organisation of KCL show how strong Indian kabaddi has become.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking after the triumph, Vijay Malik said, \u201cIt is the kind of final we had hoped for. It could have gone either way, but we held our nerve. We will celebrate tonight because we worked extremely hard for this. KCL has brought out the pride of Haryana\u2019s kabaddi passion, and I know this league will only grow bigger.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Royals head coach Surender Nada reflected on the strategy, saying, \u201cOur idea was to stick to the plan and keep our defence on the mat regardless of the score. The more you stay, the more pressure builds on the raider. We planned to contain Devank, and executing that plan made the difference.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
