A still from Patna Pirates’ record-breaking match against Dabang Delhi

Records fell like ninepins as the-then table-toppers Patna Pirates put up a mighty show against minnows Dabang Delhi in front of a stunned Delhi crowd. The rampaging Pirates were relentless as they toyed with the bottom-placed team in a match that saw the eventual champions shatter Telugu Titans’ record of most points scored by a single team (60). The total number of points scored in this match by the two sides also created a new record, surpassing the 90 totalled by the Titans and Delhi last season.

The tournament’s MVP Rohit Kumar was once again the architect of this incredible win, notching up a massive 16 points with his array of running hand touches. He received able support from the team’s other star raider, PardeepNarwal who registered 7 points while Sandeep Narwal manned their box with supreme control, collecting eleven.

Delhi were reduced to mere spectators as they watched the rampant Pirates in disbelief. Only KashilingAdake and Surjeet Singh could stand up to the challenge as they brought in a total haul of 22 points.
