Puneri Paltan emerged victorious against Gujarat Giants, achieving a commanding 34-24 win in their Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 encounter at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday. The standout performer of the match was Mohammedreza Chiyaneh, whose remarkable 9-point haul was a critical factor in distinguishing Puneri Paltan from their opponents.
The match began with Chiyaneh setting the tone, leading a youthful Puneri Paltan team with exceptional defensive skills. His efforts were complemented by Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar, who were formidable in their raiding endeavors. Puneri Paltan’s consistent lead was highlighted when they executed the first All-Out in the match's first half, six minutes before the break, establishing a 17-8 advantage. By halftime, their lead had expanded to 13 points, demonstrating their dominance in the game.
Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, struggled in the first half, managing only a single tackle point. This not only reflected their defensive shortcomings but also underscored the raiding prowess of Goyat and Inamdar. Despite a marked improvement in their performance in the second half — where they outperformed Puneri Paltan in several metrics — it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit.
Although Gujarat Giants strove to narrow the gap, they were unable to secure an All-Out against Puneri Paltan. In the second half, Puneri Paltan maintained their intensity, effectively countering every move by the Giants to regain control of the match. The game's climax saw Puneri Paltan reduced to just two men in the final raid, yet the much-needed All-Out for Gujarat Giants remained elusive. Chiyaneh's Super Tackle in these closing moments perfectly encapsulated both his and Puneri Paltan's supremacy throughout the match.
This victory for Puneri Paltan against Gujarat Giants in the Pro Kabaddi League was a testament to their strategic gameplay and individual brilliance, particularly that of Chiyaneh. It reinforced their status as a formidable team in the league and showcased the exciting talent and competition that the Pro Kabaddi League has to offer.
