The Raid Machine Deshwal: The Jaipur leg of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 wrapped up with an impressive win for the Tamil Thalaivas, who beat the home team Jaipur Pink Panthers 37-28 at the SMS Indoor Stadium here on Saturday night. In what ended their three-match losing streak, skipper Arjun Deshwal led the charge with 13 points, while Suresh Jadhav and Nitesh Kumar completed impressive High Fives.
The first 10 minutes between the Pink Panthers and the Thalaivas produced a tight, hard-fought battle. The Thalaivas edged ahead 8-6, with Nitin Kumar picking up crucial raid points to steady their start. The Pink Panthers kept themselves ahead through Nitin Kumar’s sharp raids that tested the Thalaivas’ defence.
