PKL 12: Nitin Panwar Powers Gujarat Giants To Their First Win Of The Season
Pro Kabaddi League Season: Nitin Panwar’s High Five, alongside Rakesh and Mohammadreza Shadloui’s six points each, led to an impressive defensive performance from the Gujarat Giants, who sealed their first win of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12, beating Tamil Thalaivas 37-28 in Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 at the Vishwanadh Sports Club here on Saturday night
At the start, both teams tested each other through cautious raiding and defending. The Giants got on the board early through Rakesh and Nitin, the latter impressing with his all-round contribution. The Thalaivas’ big names, Arjun Deshwal and Pawan Sehrawat, tried to push the momentum, but Gujarat’s defence stayed disciplined.
The standout moment came when Pawan, looking to break through, was stopped with a brilliant Super Tackle from Nitin. It was the first of three such moves from Nitin in the first half that energised the Giants camp, giving them the psychological edge. At the 10-minute mark, Gujarat held a slender 10-7 lead.
