PKL 12: Vijay Malik, Bharat Combine To Give Telugu Titans First Win Of Season
Jaipur Pink Panthers: The Telugu Titans secured their first win of the Pro Kabaddi League season 12 after beating Jaipur Pink Panthers 37-32 at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Thursday. An all-round performance, led by eight points for skipper Vijay Malik and raider Bharat Hooda each, and Ajit Pawar's High Five, helped the Telugu Titans to the two points. Meanwhile, Nitin Kumar Dhankar’s 13 points went in vain.
The opening 10 minutes of the clash saw both sides trade blows in a cagey start. Telugu Titans managed to edge ahead 7-5, with their defence holding firm and denying their opponents' raiders much room to operate. The Titans' Bharat stamped his authority on the contest with impactful raids. He sent Ronak Singh and Meetu to the bench in a two-point strike and followed it up with another successful raid that dismissed Sahil Satpal.
The Pink Panthers, however, found a spark in defence when Nitin Rawal executed a brilliant Super Tackle on Bharat, briefly swinging momentum back their way. However, Bharat's sharp raiding ensured the Titans held on to a slender lead, keeping the pressure firmly on the two-time champions.
