Pro Kabaddi League: The defending champions of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Puneri Paltan have not had the best season by their lofty standards. However, on home turf, in the third leg of season 11, they have entertained their fans and will be keen to do so once more when they take on Tamil Thalaivas in their final game on Monday.
Puneri Paltan fell out of the race for the playoff berth, when the Jaipur Pink Panthers defeated the Bengal Warriorz, just before their game against the Telugu Titans. Skipper Akash Shinde though is looking at the positives for the team. He said, “One of the positives for the Puneri Paltan this season is that the young players have performed well. And it is something that motivates the seniors as well.”
Puneri Paltan understandably want to bid farewell to season on a high. When asked about the final game, Shinde said, “It is important for us to give the gift of the victory in the final game for the fans of the Puneri Paltan. It is the love from the fans which motivates us on the mat. Our young players did well today, and we hope they can do the same in the final game.”
