Haryana Steelers Vs Tamil Thalaivas 17 November 2024

Full Time : Haryana Steelers 36- 29 Tamil Thalaivas 

The scoreboard doesn't lie often in Kabaddi but in this case it surely does. This game was hanging in the balance, swinging from one end to the other till 38 minutes. And then came those incredible two minutes for the Haryana Steelers. Vinay took two raid points and Shadloui tackled Masanamuthu. It left Vinay to get just one point to inflict the all out on the Thalaivas and he did that with ease. In the span of just 120 seconds the Thalaivas collapsed under pressure to loose this contest. 

Shadloui was once again the star of the show in this game. The Iranian Talisman got 8 points in total and seven of them were in tackle as he shouldered the defense in the second half for the Steelers. The raid points were shared largely between Vinay and Shivam Patare. Vinay was the game changer as he put in two precious raids in both halves that swung the momentum of the game. Vishal Tate had an indifferent game but he still had four points to his name. 

Moein Shafaghi was the star of the show for the Tamil Thalaivas as he picked up seven points. The problem for the Thalaivas was that Kandola was out of form. Chahal impressed early on but he failed to get the points towards the later half of the game. Amir Hosein had just a couple of points and he couldn't contain Vinay at a key juncture. 

Overall, it has been an incredible game of Kabaddi here and the Haryana Steelers have once again showed why they're at the top of the table. Shadloui and Vinay starred for them to get them over the line in what was easily their most challenging game in the tournament so far. Spare of thought for the Tamil Thalaivas as they had the game in their grasp at one stage but just couldn't hold their nerves towards the later stages. It's a game that can change in seconds and the Thalaivas understood it the hard way tonight.
