Puneri Paltan climbed back to the top spot of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 table with a 39-33 win over Telugu Titans on Saturday, September 13. The team showed both strong raids and solid defence to hold off a late push from the Titans.

Gaurav Khatri and Vishal Bhardwaj stood out in defence, as each picked up a High Five. Their sharp tackles stopped the Titansโ€™ raiders from turning the game around. On the attacking side, Pankaj Mohite and Aditya Shinde kept putting pressure on the other team. 

The Titans fought hard, with Bharat Hooda scoring a Super 10 and Vijay Malik adding 7. Yet their defence failed to match the pace and power of Puneโ€™s attack. 

After the game, sports expert Rishank Devadiga pointed out how the Titans lacked structure in defence and were slow to react to Puneโ€™s raiders. He praised Paltanโ€™s captain, Aslam Inamdar, for leading the charge.
