The weekend action continued in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 6 as the first match of the day as the Jaipur Pink Panthers took on the Bengaluru Bulls at the Arena by Transstadia in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Jaipur Pink Panthers came into the match on the back of a confident win over the UP Yoddha side in a match that saw their defence come through with flying colours as Sunil Siddhgavali and Sandeep Kumar Dhull scored High 5s. Deepak Niwas Hooda continued his consistent form getting another Super 10 and Ajinkya Pawar proved to be a super substitute after he scored nine points in the match. Bengaluru Bulls brought an end to the winning run of the home side Gujarat Fortunegiants and drew in a close encounter. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar were solid in the raiding unit.
The first half saw the Pink Panthers start off in a dominating fashion running away to a big lead after an early all-out after strong defence. Sandeep Dhull picked up a couple of tackle points with his ankle holds on the left corner. However, Kashiling Adake pulled off a stunning 5-point Super Raid to level things up in the half as Bengaluru struck back with an all-out of their own. The Pink Panthers edged 18-17 at the end of the first period and the stage was set for an exciting second half of Kabaddi.
The Bulls took control of the action in the second half and Pawan Kumar Sehrawat's raiding was too hot to handle for the Jaipur defence as he finished with 19 points tonight. Bengaluru Bulls maintained their top position as they won 45-32 on the night.
