On Wednesday, in the only game of the night in the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League, Telugu Titans made a stunning comeback in the last 16 seconds of the game to equal the score of the Haryana Steelers and secure a draw. The Titans were trailing by 37-39 with a few seconds to go into the game, but in a quick raid, Adarsh T got a touchpoint, and then in the buzzer raid, Vikas could not cross the boug line and was tackled by the Titans defence. It was a hard pill to swallow for Vikas Khandola as he had secured the most points for…
DDKC started season 8 of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League in an empathetic fashion as they did not concede a single defeat in their first eight games. They were, in fact, on a seven-match winning streak. But things turned south when first their captain Joginder Narwal got injured, and then their star raider Naveen Kumar also got sidelined. The injury of these two players have come as a major loss for Dabang Delhi as they haven’t been able to rack up the same kind of performance they did with them in the team. Kumar has been a major loss for…

The Haryana Steelers stole a game away from the UP Yoddhas in the buzzer raid of the game to register a 36-35 victory. Yoddhas had won a similar game earlier in the season against the Patna Pirates, when in the buzzer raid, Surinder Gill, despite getting out, scored a crucial bonus point which proved sufficient for UP to win the game. In the match against Steelers, though, Pardeep Narwal seemed to have gone through a brain fade moment as he did not try to score a point in his last raid. But Steelers’ Vinay had other ideas as he scored a bonus point…
U Mumba have been languishing at the bottom half of the table for the majority of the current edition of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League. That is largely because of the inconsistent performance from their captain Fazel Atrachali. Fazel has been one of the league’s top defenders since the beginning of the tournament and that is why U Mumba also retained him ahead of Season 8. Fazel was their most successful defender last season and was also named the best defender of the tournament. https://twitter.com/lav_narayanan/status/1483769602173980673 He got that award for the second time in the history of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi…
Thalaivas Titans were happy after they got back their star raider Siddharth Desai popularly and fondly called Bahubali Desai in the auctions before season 8 of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League. The Titans seemed to have got a balanced team with a star raider, good support raiders and an experienced raider in Rohit Kumar. However, things have not gone as per the plan for the Titans as their star raider got injured at the very beginning of the season. Desai is now all but out of the rest of the season. Titans would have hoped that Rohit Kumar would step up in…
The Pro Kabaddi League season 8 is already in its second half. The first game of the second part saw the Bengaluru Bulls claiming victory over Puneri Paltan 37-35. The match wasn’t as close as the end result might display, thought. Pawan Kumar tried his best to win the game for the Bulls as he scored his 10th Super 10 of the season, but he got absolutely no support from his teammates. Once he got out, his teammates could not revive him on time, which meant that the Bulls got all-out twice. For Paltan it was young all-rounder Mohit Goyat who was the star. He not…
In another night of Vivo Pro Kabaddi season 8, Dabang Delhi lost to Haryana Steelers by three points. Delhi were without their star raider Naveen Kumar yet again. The Haryana Steelers got their revenge on Delhi, who had beaten them by three points in their previous encounter. One of the major reasons for Delhi’s loss was the non-performance of their defence as it could not manage a single tackle point in the first half of the game. It’s a first in the history of the league. Overall, Delhi could manage only four tackle points in response to Haryana’s eight. Vikas Khandola led the Steelers…
