Pro Kabaddi League: Which team has the highest raid points in a PKL match?
Tamil Thalaivas made Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history in Season 10 by recording the highest team score in a single match. The Thalaivas dismantled Bengal Warriorz with an emphatic 74-37 victory, cementing their place as the first-ever side to cross the 70-point mark in a PKL game.
This historic match occurred when both Tamil Thalaivas and Bengal Warriorz were already out of playoff contention. Despite the stakes being low, the Thalaivas went all out, producing a performance that will be remembered for years to come.
Tamil Thalaivas' 74-37 win didn’t just break the record for the highest team score in a PKL match, it also became the highest-scoring match in league history, with a combined 111 points scored between both teams. This surpassed the previous record of 110 points, which was set during a match between Patna Pirates and Bengal Warriorz in Season 7 when Patna won 69-41.
Who were the stars in Tamil Thalaivas' record-breaking win over Bengal Warriorz in PKL 10?
The foundation of Tamil Thalaivas' record-breaking win lay in their raiding department, which delivered a flawless performance. Vishal Chahal led the charge, scoring 18 raid points, while Narender Kandola was equally outstanding with 17 raid points to his name. Together, the duo ripped through the Bengal Warriorz's defense.
Adding further depth to their attack was Masana Muthu, who entered the match as a substitute in the 30th minute. Despite his late appearance, Muthu made an immediate impact, collecting seven raid points, pushing the Thalaivas' score beyond the 70-point threshold.
This offensive onslaught from the Thalaivas was too much for the Warriorz to handle, and the match quickly became a one-sided affair.
While the raiders dominated the scoring, Tamil Thalaivas’ defense played an equally vital role in securing the record-breaking win. Iranian defender Amirhossein Bastami was the standout in defense, achieving a High 5 with five tackle points.
Captain Sahil Gulia and Aashish Umed were also crucial in defense, contributing four tackle points each. Their well-coordinated efforts ensured that Bengal Warriorz struggled to put points on the board, allowing the Thalaivas to maintain control throughout the game.
