PKL 11: Dabang Delhi Confirm 2nd Place With 14-point Win Over Gujarat Giants
Pro Kabaddi League: The unstoppable Dabang Delhi K.C. confirmed the second semifinal spot in Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) after a commanding 41-35 victory over the Gujarat Giants at the Badminton Hall in the Balewadi Sports Complex here on Monday. It was a very impressive win for the season 8 champions, who have extended their unbeaten run to 15 matches, the most for any team in the history of the PKL. Ashu Malik was the hero yet again, leading the way with his 14 points – completing his 18th Super 10 of the season.
A thrilling first half saw Gujarat Giants and Dabang Delhi K.C. engage in a closely contested battle, as the match began evenly with both teams trading bonus points. The Gujarat Giants drew first blood through Rakesh's toe touch, building an early 4-2 advantage. They maintained the pressure and executed an All Out on Dabang Delhi K.C., extending their lead to 10-5 by the 8-minute mark.
However, Dabang Delhi K.C. mounted a strong comeback in the latter stages of the half. The turning point came through Ashu Malik's Super Raid, where he scored four crucial points. Despite Gujarat's unsuccessful review challenging a boundary line decision, Delhi's momentum continued to build.
