Mumbai, 19th January, 2024: One of the founding teams of the Pro Kabaddi League, the Capri Sports owned Bengal Warriors are among those who have walked the talk on the mat over the last decade. However, in an age where sportpersons wear the hats of being icons and role models, the Bengal Warriors have piped the ante, with a snazzily designed athleisure line.

In a bold move, this season, the Warriors are sporting a revamped playing kit that shows off a new brand identity. But why stop at the playing field? The players are also gifted a stylish travel kit – a hippy pair of jeans, a trendy jacket, and the pièce de résistance, supporting baggage that completes the ensemble.

This athleisure makeover isn’t just about looking good; it’s about resonating with the pulse of today’s youth. Young sports enthusiasts no longer see their favourite kabaddi players just as athletes; they are style icons, trendsetters who influence a large part of their wardrobe choices. The Bengal Warriors, in their chic athletic wear, are redefining the image of the kabaddi player – from solely sportspersons to holistic icons who excel both in the arena and in the fashion world.

This transformation is crucial in an era where the lines between sports, culture, and lifestyle are increasingly blurred. The Warriors, in embracing this change, are not just playing the game; they’re changing it, one trendy outfit at a time. It’s a testament to the evolving nature of sports, where being an athlete means influencing both performance and style. The Bengal Warriors are pioneering a movement where the jersey is as important as the game, making them the true warriors of style in the sporting world.  

Speaking on the launch, Jinisha Sharma, Director, Capri Sports, said, “At Capri Sports, it is all about being at the fore front of change and improvement. The Bengal Warriors are one of the crown jewels in Indian sport, and this athleisure line is a not only a dedication to that but also a means of ensuring the icons’ look and feel is as dynamic. And the energy from here we hope will always reflect on the field of play as well.” 

HYDERABAD, 19^th January 2024: The Telugu Titans will be looking to turn their fortunes during their home leg from 19-24 January 2024. The Telugu Titans’ Defender Parvesh Bhainswal expressed that the team will certainly receive a boost from its home fans in Hyderabad, “The Telugu Titans fans will support us even if we win or lose. The fans will certainly turn up in large numbers in Hyderabad and cheer for us this week. We will receive confidence from our fans during our home leg.”

The Defender further added, “We are very happy to be here in Hyderabad and we’ll try to win as many games as possible in front of our home fans.”

Bhainswal also said that the Titans will have to improve their all-round game in order to pick up a few victories. They have won just one game in Season 10 so far. “We are trying to improve our game in the raiding and defence departments then only we can win games. We have to get better in all aspects as a team,” said the Defender.

Pawan Sehrawat has been the lone warrior for the Titans with 107 points in 11 matches this season. When asked about playing with him, Bhainswal said, “Pawan is a great raider and he finished as the best raider in Season Six, Seven and Eight. I have played a lot of games with him as we play together in the Railways team in Senior Nationals. It’s been really nice to play with him this season.”

The Telugu Titans will be up against Bengaluru Bulls, U.P. Yoddhas, Haryana Steelers and Tamil Thalaivas during the Hyderabad leg.

17th January, Jaipur: The Jaipur Pink Panthers beat the Haryana Steelers 37-27 to extend their unbeaten streak to 10 matches, today. In a game defined by brilliant defending, the Jaipur Pink Panthers of Ankush (5 points), Sunil Kumar (4 points) and Reza Mirbagheri (4 points) were the real difference between the two teams. The Jaipur Pink Panthers remained unbeaten in their home leg.  

Through the season these two teams had built their results on the backbone of a strong defence, and in the early part of the game they leaned upon it, to keep the board ticking. Neither was too keen to gain their points on the raid, in the first half both secured a mere 5 points each in attack. In contrast, their defense, led by Ankush, won them 16 points.  

The Jaipur Pink Panthers took charge in the later part of the first half, and inflicted the first ALL OUT of the game with three minutes left to take a 14-8 lead. The Steelers cut that lead back a bit, soon after, thanks to Naveen Kundu’s excellent defending to go into the break down by a mere four points.

Both teams continued to rely on the DO OR DIE raid, trusting their defence to get the points. Deshwal’s ability to get touch points at crucial moments put the Steelers in trouble and soon enough the Jaipur Pink Panthers inflicted a second ALL OUT to take a massive 27-16 lead.

Deshwal’s resurgence continued into the second half and with it, the Jaipur Pink Panthers stretched their lead further. All the while their defence remained tight, and Ankush logged his fifth tackle point with two minutes left to play. The Jaipur Pink Panthers rounded their performance with a massive 10 points win to stay atop the table.

17th January, Jaipur: Gujarat Giants snapped Dabang Delhi KC’s winning run as they put up a formidable performance to claim a 31-26 victory in the Pro Kabaddi League match at the SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday. Deepak Singh was the Gujarat Giants’ best player as he finished with a High 5, while Dabang Delhi KC captain Ashu Malik claimed yet another Super 10.

Dabang Delhi KC sped away to a 4-1 lead in no time, but some resolute defending from Gujarat Giants saw them fight their way back into the game and a superb multi-point raid from Parteek Dahiya led to the first ALL OUT in the 8th minute. From trailing by 3 points, the Gujarat side were now in the lead at 10-4.

Giants’ right cover Deepak gave a really good account of himself with a few clutch tackles, while Sonu Jaglan came off the bench to inflict further damage on Dabang Delhi KC. The momentum swiftly swung in the favour with the men in orange as they led 19-12 at the break.

Dabang Delhi KC bounced back well in the second half as raids from their skipper Ashu Malik saw them gain four successive points and reduce the Giants to 2 men. The team from Delhi went on to reduce their deficit to a mere 2 points at 19-21, but the Gujarat Giants’ defensive solidity saw them through. Jitendra and Deepak came up with SUPER TACKLES as Ram Mehar Singh’s team led 27-21 with 5 minutes to go.

Ashu worked tirelessly and once again had the opposition down to just 2 men, but a last-gasp multi-point raid from Mohammad Esmaeil Nabibakhsh sealed the deal as Gujarat Giants picked up their 8th win of the season.

16th January, Jaipur: The Tamil Thalaivas dominated the entire match against Patna Pirates to record a 41-25 victory in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 on Tuesday. Ajinkya Pawar was the star for the Thalaivas with 10 points on the night, meanwhile, raider Narender chipped in with 6 points.

Narender picked up a couple of raid points as the Thalaivas inched ahead at 4-2 in the third minute. However, Sudhakar effected a magnificent raid to level the scores at 4-4. But Ajinkya Pawar and Sagar picked up a raid and tackle point respectively to reduce the Pirates to just three members on the mat.

The Thalaivas rode on the momentum and inflicted an ALL OUT to take a massive lead at 12-6 in the 11th minute. Sagar continued to shine as the Thalaivas extended their lead further at 16-8 in the 14th minute. The side from Tamil Nadu found a way to stop Sudhakar and Sachin from scoring raid points consistently and eventually went into the break leading at 20-11.

Moments later, the Thalaivas inflicted another ALL OUT to lead comfortably at 25-11 in the 24th minute.

Game 2- Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Haryana Steelers – 9 pm 

Venue: Jaipur

Season 10 of the Pro Kabaddi League will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network and for free on Disney+ Hotstar.  

Jaipur, January 16th 2024: With seven wins in 12 games this season so far, the JSW Sports-owned franchise Haryana Steelers are sitting among the top five in the points table. Steelers will be looking to avenge their previous loss to Jaipur Pink Panthers, when they  face the current table-toppers on Wednesday at SMS Indoor stadium, Jaipur.  The last time the two teams faced off against each other, Jaipur had picked a 45-34 win over Haryana.

The Steelers will look to end Jaipur’s five-match winning streak, when they step out to the mat. The Pink Panthers have won 9 out of their 13 games so far, with only two losses to their name. The Jaipur crowd has shown up in large numbers to the stadium over the past few days in a strong show of support to their home team, but Haryana Steelers Head Coach Manpreet Singh says his side cannot let the pressure of the moment affect them.

“Our aim is to win all our remaining matches and qualify for the playoffs. But in this sport, plans can go haywire on the mat. What matters is that we always give our 100 percent, no matter what. We cannot control the outcome. But we can reduce our mistakes, we can be smart in our decision-making, we can be tactical with our reviews, and we can control our player changes. If we do that correctly, we are confident we can get a good result,” he said.

Manpreet further explained why Jaipur Pink Panthers Captain Sunil Kumar could be the biggest threat for his side on Wednesday.

“In Kabaddi, what matters most is how well you are able to study your opponent. Rajasthan’s captain Sunil is the most intelligent captain in the sport at the moment, in my opinion. He has great resources but he also knows how to use them well. He knows when to make quick raids, when to slow things down and when to hold a match. When he gets out, Jaipur tends to struggle, so we know we have to target him if we want to win the match,” he said.

Meanwhile, Haryana Steelers Captain Jaideep Dahiya stressed that his side will work on reducing the errors in raids to continue their rise in the points table. He further added that a strong defensive performance will be key for Haryana in the upcoming match.

“Defence is key for us. We can make a lot of super tackles. It is something that we practice a lot in training. Also, we will try to reduce the number of errors we make in raids, so that we can achieve our targets,” he said.

Speaking on the opposition, Jaideep said, “Jaipur Pink Panthers are quite a good team. Sunil and Arjun Deshwal are performing really well. We defeated Puneri Paltan in Pune and picked a win over Bengaluru Bulls in Bengaluru. So, we will take motivation from the same and will try to perform our best to get a good result, despite Jaipur having the home ground advantage.”

JAIPUR, 16^th January 2024: The Jaipur Pink Panthers pulled off their fifth successive victory in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 after defeating U Mumba 31-29 in Jaipur on Monday. Speaking about the match, Jaipur Pink Panthers’ Captain Sunil Kumar said, “It was a great match. We should’ve scored a tackle point right after Ajith’s Super Raid, but we couldn’t do it. That was a big mistake for us, but the team fought till the end and hence we triumphed in the game.”

The Panthers moved to the top of the table following their victory over the Mumbai side. When asked about the same, Sunil said, “The confidence is high in the camp after winning three consecutive matches at home ground. But there’s still a long way to go in the tournament. We’ll try to stay at the top of the points table.”

The Jaipur Pink Panthers played in front of a special guest on Monday as Indian film legend Amitabh Bachchan graced the stadium with his presence. Speaking about playing in front of him, the skipper said, “Amitabh Bachchan sir gives us a lot of confidence. We won in front of in Mumbai and now we’ve won again here in Jaipur. He’s a great person and keeps giving us a boost for all games.”

The match between Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba was also the 1001^st Pro Kabaddi League game. When asked about the significance of the game, Sunil said, “I would like to thank the supporters of the Pro Kabaddi League for taking the tournament to great heights over the last 10 seasons. It feels really nice to play and win the 1001st match as a Captain.”

The Jaipur Pink Panthers will take on Haryana Steelers in their last home game on Wednesday.

15th January, Jaipur: The Jaipur Pink Panthers edged a razor thin game 31-29 against U Mumba at the SMS Indoor Stadium on Sunday. The Pink Panthers’ lead man Arjun Deshwal (11 points) helped the Pink Panthers get their third consecutive victory at home and extend their winning streak to five.

MATCH CENTRE

Before the game the record between these two teams stood at 10 wins apiece and two ties. In the early going it was evident why there had never been anything to separate them in the past, as they matched each other raid for raid and tackle for tackle.

Arjun Deshwal was the key player for the Jaipur Pink Panthers, his constant raid points keeping the scoreboard ticking. At the other end, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh did the same for U Mumba, till an injury cut short his time on the mat, and raised the alarm bells for U Mumba. U Mumba went into the break holding a slender one point lead.

Ajith Kumar’s SUPER RAID to take out Rinku, Surinder Singh and Mukilan Shanmugam opened up the first gap between the teams in the game, but it didn’t last long. U Mumba hit back almost immediately, and were constantly picking up bonus points to stay in the hunt.

The close nature of the game was magnified by the fact that going into the final two minutes neither team had managed to inflict an All OUT. The Jaipur Pink Panthers, thanks in part to a SUPER TACKLE led by three points, in those final minutes, and it was what made the difference. Despite some desperate raiding by Jai Bhagwan, a small miscalculation helped the Pink Panthers to a close win.

However, the Bulls inflicted an ALL OUT and inched ahead at 21-20 in the 28th minute. But Shubham Shinde tackled Bharat and kept the Warriors in the game at 23-24 in the 31st minute.

JAIPUR, 15^th January 2024: The Pro Kabaddi League felicitated five legends of the sport – Anup Kumar, Dharmaraj Cheralathan, Ajay Thakur, Manjeet Chhillar and Rishank Devadiga ahead of the historic 1000^th Pro Kabaddi League match in Jaipur on Monday. The legends received a customised memento for their incredible contribution to the Pro Kabaddi League over the last 10 seasons.

When asked about the journey of PKL from Match 1 to Match 1000, Dharmaraj Cheralathan said, “The Pro Kabaddi League’s journey has been magnificent. Many lives have changed because of the Pro Kabaddi League and many lives will change in the future as well. I hope that the players become even more fitter in the future and have very long careers.”

Manjeet Chhillar expressed that he had plans to play in the tenth season as well, “Ajay had told me that we would play the tenth season, but he retired before me. Had he continued to play then we would have probably played in this season. I hope that we complete one lakh Pro Kabaddi League matches one day then I’ll be even happier. I wish that kabaddi becomes the number one sport in terms of viewership in the future.”

When asked about how much the game has changed since the first-ever PKL match in 2014, Anup Kumar said, “The game has become very fast now. And now the coaches have a lot of players to choose from in their teams. There’s a backup for each of the players in each of the teams in the Pro Kabaddi League. And the players get a lot of opportunities to show their mettle as well.”

Speaking on the innovative rules implemented in the Pro Kabaddi League over the years, Ajay Thakur said, “The 30-second raid rule has been a great innovation in the game. Kabaddi is an injury-prone game so it’s really good that that raids have a time limit of 30 seconds. If there was no time limit then the players wouldn’t be able to have long careers.”

Meanwhile, Rishank Devadiga expressed his excitement ahead of the 1000^th PKL match, “I am really happy to see that the Pro Kabaddi League has reached its 1000th match. The game has grown leaps and bounds through PKL over the last 10 seasons. It’s been really nice to be on the journey with PKL right from Season 1.”

The Bengal Warriors are taking on the Bengaluru Bulls in the 1000^th PKL match, while, the Jaipur Pink Panthers will face off against U Mumba in the next match of the day.

Season 10 of the Pro Kabaddi League will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network and for free on Disney+ hotstar.  

Jaipur, 15^th January, 2024: The Bengal Warriors, who are captained by the inimitable Maninder Singh, have been among the strongest pillars of the Pro Kabaddi League, who have had a storied journey over the last decade. Now, in their 10^th season, the Pro Kabaddi League, has also reached the milestone of 1000 matches. 

The 1000^th match of the PKL will see the Bengaluru Bulls come up against an in-form Bengal Warriors. Both sides have been part of the decade long journey of the PKL so far, and are among the foremost pillars of strength for the sport. 

While the Bengaluru Bulls won Season 6 of the PKL, the tournament’s title travelled to the Bengal Warriors camp in the next season. Meanwhile, the Patna Pirates and the Jaipur Pink Panthers are among the most decorated teams in the mix.  

Bengal Warriors’ Captain Maninder Singh, who was part of the first-ever PKL match between U Mumba and Jaipur Pink Panthers said, “It feels really great that the 1000th PKL match will be played on Monday. I played for Jaipur in the first match and will play the 1000th match in Jaipur, so what could be better than that. Kabaddi is a very injury-prone sport so I feel really happy to be around the league for 1000 matches.”  

The raider further added, “My journey has been really good and it feels great to have a long career. I am trying to maintain my fitness and keep playing for as long as I can. The game has become very fast now as compared to the first game. There were no Do or Die raids in the first season so if a team took a big lead then its opponents found it difficult to make comebacks in the matches. So innovative rules such as Do or Die raids have made the game very interesting.” 

Speaking on the occasion, Bengal Warriors’ Co-Owner Akshay Kumar said, “Here’s congratulating the Bengal Warriors as they play the 1000^th PKL match. It has been a remarkable journey so far. Wishing the best to my Warriors, and the league.” 

“The journey of the past decade has been immense, and we at the Bengal Warriors could not be happier that we were there in the first year, and now in the 1000^th game. It is a matter of immense pride for the Indian sporting fraternity, and for us at Capri Sports and Bengal Warriors, as we continue nurture the Warrior spirit. We would like to congratulate everyone involved, and wish the PKL and the other stakeholders and hope to see more than 10,000 games being played eventually,” said Jinisha Sharma, Director – Capri Sports.  

“This is a moment that calls for a massive celebration for the sport of Kabaddi, and we hope to play our part in it,” she added.  

14th January, Jaipur: A brilliant come back in the final minutes of the game helped the Patna Pirates secure a high octane 39-39 tie against Dabang Delhi at the SMS Indoor Stadium on Sunday. Dabang’s Ashu Malik (14 points) and Pirates’ Sachin (10 points) and Manjeet (10 points) were the performers of the night.   

MATCH CENTRE

Delhi’s Ashu Malik sparked the game into life with a SUPER RAID in the eighth minute, taking out the defensive trio of Manish, Ankit and Krishan to leave the Pirates reeling. Attempting to stave off an all out Manjeet pulled off a SUPER TACKLE to keep them in the game. 

Inevitably though the first ALL OUT came soon after as Dabang took a 16-10 lead. That served almost as an opportunity for the Pirates to reset though, and they picked up their game soon after, a previously ineffective Sachin even picking up some raid points through the half. The difference though was Malik, whose 9 points crucially gave Dabang a six point lead at the break. 

Malik’s absolute raiding dominance continued well into the second half, and as he racked up points the Pirates crumbled. A second ALL OUT followed soon enough to extend Dabang into a 28-19 lead. 

It wasn’t all plain sailing though. The Pirates fought back in the final quarter of the game and reduced Dabang’s numbers. A SUPER TACKLE by Mohit to keep their lead, came at a cost, with Ashish issued a yellow card for violent play. The Pirates inflicted an ALL OUT to reduce the gap to four points with three minutes to play. Within a minute that lead had disappeared, and the momentum shifted massively. With mere seconds of the game left though, both teams chose to play out and secure the tie, a fair result at the end.

JAIPUR, 14^th January 2024: The Bengal Warriors and the Bengaluru Bulls players are not going to play just another Pro Kabaddi League game on Monday as PKL is on the cusp of a historic moment. The match between the Warriors and Bulls in Jaipur will be the 1000^th Pro Kabaddi League match. 

Bengal Warriors’ Captain Maninder Singh, who was part of the first-ever PKL match between U Mumba and Jaipur Pink Panthers said, “It feels really great that the 1000th PKL match will be played on Monday. I played for Jaipur in the first match and will play the 1000th match in Jaipur, so what could be better than that. Kabaddi is a very injury-prone sport so I feel really happy to be around the league for 1000 matches.”

The raider further added, “My journey has been really good and it feels great to have a long career. I am trying to maintain my fitness and keep playing for as long as I can. The game has become very fast now as compared to the first game. There were no Do or Die raids in the first season so if a team took a big lead then its opponents found it difficult to make comebacks in the matches. So innovative rules such as Do or Die raids have made the game very interesting.”

Meanwhile, Jaipur Pink Panthers’ Rahul Chaudhari, who was also part of the first-ever PKL season, shared his thoughts ahead of the big game, “The 1000th Pro Kabaddi League match is a proud moment for all kabaddi lovers. I wish that the game becomes even more popular in the upcoming years and nobody should ask ‘What is kabaddi’. Today the kabaddi players are recognized anywhere they go and this has been possible only because of the Pro Kabaddi League.”

Bengaluru Bulls’ Head Coach Randhir Singh has seen the Pro Kabaddi League become bigger and better in front of his eyes by being associated with the Bengaluru franchise from the team’s very first match. When asked about the significance of the 1000^th game, the Head Coach said, “I feel very lucky to be a part of the Pro Kabaddi League from the very first match. The Pro Kabaddi League has provided a brilliant platform to all the kabaddi players. The game has changed a lot since the first-ever match and the league has become ten times better.”

Randhir Singh also said, “The Pro Kabaddi League has also given me a platform to earn an identity. I would like to thank Mashal Sports and Star Sports for their support. And I would like to thank the fans as well. The sport is nothing without the fans.”

The Bengal Warriors and Bengaluru Bulls will face off against each other in the 1000^th Pro Kabaddi League match in Jaipur on Monday.

13th January, Jaipur:  The Bengal Warriors subjected the U.P. Yoddhas to their fifth defeat in a row, beating them 42-37 at the SMS Indoor Stadium on Saturday. Despite Pardeep Narwal’s 16 points, the U.P. Yoddhas were outdone by the all-round teamwork of the Bengal Warriors. Maninder Singh (14 points) and Nitin Kumar (10 points) were the best performers for their team on a winning night.

The contest was billed as a raider’s paradise and did not disappoint early on, with Maninder Singh in particular keen to stamp his authority on the game. The Bengal Warriors’ raider grabbed 9 points in the first half alone, and was not tackled once. And yet he wasn’t the only one making hay. At the other end, his counterpart Pardeep Narwal took 7 points in the half, to keep his side in the game.  

The difference really was the fact that the Warriors had other raiders chipping in with points, and a defence that logged 4 points to the U.P. Yoddhas one. It helped the Bengal Warriors inflict the first ALL OUT of the game and they went into the break holding a comfortable lead.

The U.P. Yoddhas kicked off the second half at a furious pace and within three minutes had inflicted an ALL OUT of their own to reduce the deficit to 20-24. The Warriors were in no mood to capitulate though, and slowly picked up the pieces to rebuild their lead.

Narwal was working overtime to reduce the deficit almost on his own, with the rest of the team failing to back up his performance. His relentless raiding though helped the U.P. Yoddhas inflict a second ALL OUT, reducing the deficit to three points with under 2 minutes to play. In the end though, the Warriors held their nerve and smartly played down the clock to take a well deserved victory.

13th January, Jaipur: The Jaipur Pink Panthers ended the Puneri Paltan’s eight-match winning streak after defeating them 36-34 in Jaipur on Saturday. The Puneri Paltan held a huge lead at 20-11 at the end of the first half, but the Panthers fought back and clinched a gripping victory in the end.  Arjun Deshwal was the star for the Panthers with 16 points on the night.

Arjun Deshwal picked up a couple of raid points as the Panthers clinched the lead at 3-2 in the third minute. The Puneri Paltan levelled the scores at 5-5, but Deshwal kept picking up raid points to propel the Panthers to a three-point lead at 9-6 in the 9th minute. However, the Puneri Paltan defence unit stood tall and kept its team in the game at 8-10 in the 12th minute.

Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh upped his game as the Pune side levelled the scores once again at 11-11 in the 16th minute. Pankaj Mohite pulled off a magnificent double-point raid in the 18th minute and helped the Puneri Paltan inch ahead at 14-11. Moments later, the Pune side inflicted an ALL OUT to extend their lead further. The Puneri Paltan led comfortably at 20-11 at the end of the first half.

The Panthers tackled Mohit Goyat in the opening minutes of the second half, but Shadloui picked up tackle points from the other end and kept Pune in the lead at 21-13 in the 25th minute. However, Arjun Deshwal pulled off a SUPER RAID as the Panthers reduced the Pune side to just one member in the 29th minute. Moments later, the home side inflicted an ALL OUT and narrowed the gap between the two sides at 22-23. The Panthers rode on the momentum and clinched the lead at 24-23 soon after.

Bhavani Rajput effected a brilliant raid to take out Shadloui as the Panthers attained a decent lead at 28-23 in the 34th minute. Moments later, Deshwal picked up a raid point and reduced the Pune side to just one member on the mat. The Panthers inflicted another ALL OUT soon after and led comfortably at 32-26. However, the Puneri Paltan fought back and reduced the Panthers to just one member on the mat in the dying seconds of the game. But Bhavani Rajput held his nerve on the final raid of the game and took his team to a thrilling victory.

JAIPUR, 13^th January 2024: The Puneri Paltan recorded their eighth consecutive victory in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 after defeating the Gujarat Giants 37-17 in Jaipur on Friday. When asked about their fantastic winning streak, Puneri Paltan’s Head Coach BC Ramesh said, “The players are coordinating very well on the mat and we have a great team balance. We have good players on the bench as well. We’ll look to give opportunities to the players on the bench in our upcoming games.”

One of the youngsters in the Pune side – Gaurav Khatri put up a brilliant performance with 6 tackle points on the night. Speaking about his performance, the Head Coach said, “Gaurav is a really good defender. He plays with a lot of courage. And he never plays for himself. He always puts the team’s needs ahead of his own. It feels really good to see him do well and he’ll do even better in the upcoming matches.”

BC Ramesh further added, “I feel Shadloui, Abinesh and Gaurav will be among the top three defenders for us this season. Shadloui picked up a raid point for us as well. Additionally, Aslam is a great all-round player. He picks up raid and tackle points for the team. And he’s managing the team well.”

The Head Coach also expressed that no team can stop Puneri Paltan’s juggernaut this season, “I knew from our first match of this season that we have a super team. There’s no team that can stop us in this competition. All the players have been putting up outstanding performances.”

The Puneri Paltan will be next in action when they take on Jaipur Pink Panthers in Jaipur on Saturday.

13th January, Jaipur: Puneri Paltan put the Gujarat Giants to the sword registering a 37-17 victory at the SMS Indoor Stadium on Friday. Brilliant performances by Aslam Inamdar (10 points,) Gaurav Khatri (6 points) Mohamadreza Chiyaneh (5 points) sealed a dominant win for the table toppers.

MATCH CENTRE

Paltan got off to an electric start and raced into a five point lead, almost immediately. Key to that lead though was in how their brilliant defence kept the Giants quiet, to a degree where they only managed their first point once five minutes had ticked by. The Paltan defence was imperious in the first half, logging an incredible 8 tackle points.

The Giants kept trying to close in on the form team of the season but to no avail. One SUPER TACKLE by Sonu warded off the inevitable but with three minutes of the half left, the Paltan inflicted an ALL OUT to take a 16-7 lead. They extended that even further, going into the break leading by an incredible 11 points.

Pune continued their dominance into the second half and within the first four minutes of the restart inflicted a second ALL OUT to take a 28-10 lead. By this time the Giants were more concerned about saving face than the game itself.

A misfiring Giants offence couldn’t do much to slow the rampage though. The Giants pulled off a series of SUPER TACKLES at the tail end of the game to avoid the ignominy of another all out, but the result remained in no doubt as the Paltan took a massive victory.

12th January, JAIPUR: Jaipur Pink Panthers began their home leg in style with a tightly-contested 38-35 win against Telugu Titans in the Pro Kabaddi League match at the SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on Friday. Arjun Deshwal grabbed his 4th Super 10 in as many games as he finished with 14 raid points, while Telugu Titans captain Pawan Sehrawat bagged 12 points.

Arjun, this season’s top raider, needed no time to settle in as he struck from his very first raid. He was ably supported by Ankush and Reza Mirbagheri in defence as the home team raced to a 9-5 lead. A moment of brilliance from Arjun, where he got past the duo of Hamid Nader and Nitin – inflicted the first ALL OUT on Telugu Titans and they trailed 6-14 in the 13th minute.

Jaipur Pink Panthers needed just 5 minutes to inflict a second ALL OUT. That phase of play belonged completely to Arjun as he completed his Super 10, while Ankush produced a ferocious dash to push Pawan Sehrawat off the mat. Pawan was kept off the mat for over 7 minutes as Jaipur Pink Panthers led 27-8 at the interval.

Telugu Titans showed a lot more character in the second half as the defence stepped up. Led by Sandeep Dhull, they produced a series of sharp tackles to reduce the number of pink jerseys on the mat and Pawan completed the clean-up act to grab the ALL OUT. With 10 minutes to go, the scoreline read 33-21.

Pawan switched gears thereon as he picked up points off successive raids before stopping V Ajith with a superb back hold. Jaipur Pink Panthers were down to 2 men at this point and in a spot of bother. Lucky Sharma stepped out of bounds and then Bhavani Rajput was flattened on the mat as Telugu Titans inflicted another ALL OUT. It marked a sensational comeback from them, as they fought their way back from a 19-point deficit to now trail by just 5. Jaipur Pink Panthers held on to a narrow lead at 36-31 with 4 minutes to go.

Their lead was reduced to a mere 3 points, but Jaipur Pink Panthers determinedly held on to ensure they began their home leg on a victorious note and extended their unbeaten run to 7 games.

JAIPUR, 12^th January 2024: Damayanti Boro has been leading the charge in kabaddi in the Northeast as a coach for several years. However, she has always had an interest in officiating as well and she achieved her dream of becoming a technical official at the Pro Kabaddi League for the first time this season. 

When asked about how she was introduced to the sport, Boro said, “My elder brother was a javelin thrower and I used to go to the ground with him. I was in the sixth standard at that time. Then I saw a few girls practice kabaddi on the field. Then I joined them too as an SAI trainee. Thereafter I took part in State and National competitions, but I couldn’t play in international tournaments.”

Post her playing career, Boro became a professional kabaddi coach after passing an exam conducted by Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) in 2015. Speaking about how she made her way into officiating, she said, “I am primarily a kabaddi coach. I am currently working with the Assam Government in Guwahati. But, I always had an interest in officiating. So I have been officiating in some domestic tournaments whenever I receive an opportunity.”

When asked about how she attained the referee’s role at the Pro Kabaddi League, Boro said, “The Pro Kabaddi League conducted a referee selection camp in Assam in 2019 and I got selected for PKL during the camp. I went for a workshop in Mumbai as well, but I couldn’t officiate in Season 7 because my employer at the time didn’t allow me to officiate in PKL.”

However, Boro received an opportunity to officiate in PKL once again, “I attained a job as a kabaddi coach in the Assam Government in July 2023 and then I received an opportunity to officiate in the Pro Kabaddi League once again. This time my employer allowed me to officiate in PKL and therefore I am here. I would like to thank Mashal Sports for this opportunity.”

The referee also said that she is currently oscillating between two jobs. “So currently, I am officiating in alternate venues in PKL Season 10. When I am not officiating in PKL Season 10, I go back to my coaching job in Guwahati,” signed off Boro.

The Panthers, who are currently in the fourth spot on the points table, will be up against the Telugu Titans at the SMS Indoor stadium in the first match of the day on 12 January 2024. 

Speaking about returning to Jaipur, JPP Owner Abhishek Bachchan said, “We have come back to Jaipur after four years. The players are very excited to play at their home ground and in front of the Jaipur fans. The team management is also very excited to return to Jaipur and the team will certainly perform at its best. I would like to request all the JPP fans to come to the stadium to give a boost to our team.”

The Jaipur leg will also witness the 1000^th Pro Kabaddi League match on 15 January 2024.

The match is a huge occasion and a huge chance for celebration. It’s a matter of great pride for the kabaddi players all over the globe.”

When asked about how he was introduced to the sport of kabaddi, Abhishek Bachchan said, “My father taught me kabaddi. There’s a scene in Ganga Ki Saugand where my father plays kabaddi so I asked him to teach me the game after I watched the film. He taught me the game in our garden. I played kabaddi in school when I studied for a year in Delhi.”

Meanwhile, the Jaipur Pink Panthers’ Captain Sunil Kumar expressed that his team is absolutely ready for the home leg, “We’ve been practising well. We are currently devising our strategies according to the Telugu Titans team since we will be up against them in our first match in Jaipur. We will definitely try to win all four of our home games.”

The Captain also spoke about Abhishek Bachchan’s impact on the team, “He motivates everyone in the team. He tells us to give our best and not worry about the result. We’ve won 6 out of 10 games so far. We’ve tied two matches and lost two games. We are looking to get better as a unit in our upcoming games.”

The Jaipur Pink Panthers will take on Telugu Titans at the SMS Indoor Stadium, Jaipur at 8 pm on Friday.

10th January, MUMBAI: U Mumba and Haryana Steelers played out a highly entertaining high octane 44-44 tie in the final game of PKL Season 10’s leg at the DOME by NSCI on Wednesday. While Jaideep Dahiya’s brilliant defending earned him 8 tackle points, the real star of the game was Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, who almost single-handedly got his side a deserved tie with 14 raid points. 

The Haryana Steelers kicked off at a blistering pace and had, within minutes, reduced the U Mumba numbers on the mat. It wasn’t just via raiding though, as Jaideep Dahiya in defence was imperious, logging an impressive 4 raid points in the first half itself — over half of the Haryana Steelers’ total for the period.  

They inflicted the first ALL OUT of the game in the seventh minute to take a 11-6 lead and things looked bleak for the home side. In the next quarter of the game though U Mumba’s team rallied together, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh’s ability to constantly pick up bonus points, and Siddharth Desai’s SUPER RAID at the end of the half drawing them to within three to end the half.   

Despite having only three players on the mat at the beginning of the second half, the Haryana Steelers, courtesy of a SUPER TACKLE and some brilliant raiding, streaked into a 9 point lead within two minutes. The see-saw nature of the encounter ensured that they wouldn’t have the last say, as U Mumba slowly edged their way back. It took them nine minutes of the half, but eventually they inflicted an ALL OUT to erase that nine point deficit to draw level at 30 apiece.  

The momentum swung the other way almost immediately as the Haryana Steelers defence held together and created a second ALL OUT  to take a five point lead. U Mumba inflicted a second ALL OUT  to draw level at 44 apiece, with 40 seconds left. Neither team could break the deadlock in the dying seconds as they took a deserved point apiece.

10^th January, MUMBAI: Tamil Thalaivas ended their 7-game winless run with a resounding 46-27 victory over U.P. Yoddhas in the Pro Kabaddi League match at the DOME by NSCI in Mumbai on Wednesday. Thalaivas raider Narender starred with 14 raid points, while left corner defender Sahil Gulia claimed 5 tackle points.

Tamil Thalaivas got off to a fantastic start and needed just 7 minutes to inflict the first ALL OUT and soar to an 11-2 lead. Both of their raiders, Narender and Ajinkya Pawar, were in really good touch and made the difference in the first half. Neither of U. P. Yoddhas’ raiders – Pardeep Narwal nor Surender Gill – were effective and it took a couple of key raids from Vijay Malik for them to get going.

The Tamil Thaliavas ended the first half with an 8-point lead at 19-11 and were in complete control of the game.

The second half was more of the same as Narender returned to cause further trouble for the U.P. Yoddhas. The youngster produced 2 multi-point raids to lead his side to a second ALL OUT and further extend their lead. He slipped past the defensive duo of Nitesh Kumar and Gurdeep to earn the Thalaivas 4 points and take them to a 29-15 lead in the 26th minute.

Pardeep endured a difficult outing and was sent to the bench for the 7th time in 11 raids, in the 30th minute, as the U.P. Yoddhas were reduced to 3 men and trailed by 15 points. The U.P.  Yoddhas, on their part, did well to hold on and a SUPER TACKLE from Nitin Panwar helped their cause, but it still was not enough. Another multi-point raid from Narender saw a 3rd ALL OUT inflicted on the U.P. Yoddhas and that saw the Thalaivas pick up their 1st win in 8 games. The result also marked the Yoddhas’ 4th loss on the trot.

9th January, MUMBAI: Bengal Warriors snapped their 4-game winless streak as they produced a splendid defensive performance to defeat Telugu Titans 46-26 in the Pro Kabaddi League match at the DOME by NSCI in Mumbai on Tuesday. Warriors’ defender Vaibhav Garje was the star player of the game as he scored a stunning 9 tackle points, while Titans captain Pawan Sehrawat bagged yet another Super 10. 

Bengal Warriors were without their captain and ace raider Maninder Singh, but that offered a chance to Nitin Kumar to grab the spotlight. He troubled the Telugu Titans’ defence with his mercurial raids, while the Warriors’ defensive duo of captain Shubham and Vaibhav were brilliant on the evening. The Warriors needed all of 7 minutes to grab the first ALL OUT and take a 10-4 lead. 

 Titans’ skipper Pawan was off-colour and their raiding unit was unable to fire on all cylinders as the Warriors’ defence reigned supreme. Vaibhav trapped Pawan in a perfect tackle to bring up his 6th tackle point within the opening half itself and the Warriors wrapped up the second ALL OUT at the cusp of half-time. The former champions led by 17 points as the scorecard read 27-10. 

 The second half saw the Titans put their best foot forward and fight towards a comeback. They struck back through a quick series of points and their relentless efforts paid off in the 33rd minute when Pawan powered past Shubham and Aditya Shinde to inflict an ALL OUT. That very move cut down the Warriors’ lead to 9 points at 33-24. Nitin, however, denied the Titans any chance of a comeback as he escaped the clutches of Sandeep Dhull and Mohit in a clean-up act and inflicted a 3rd ALL OUT on the Titans. With less than 2 minutes to go, the scoreline read 42-24 in the Warriors’ favour. Shubham ended the game with tackles on Pawan and Robin Chaudhary to bring up his High 5 and his team’s 4 victory of the season.
