KCL Haryana 2026: Karnal Kings & Bhiwani Bulls emerge victorious on Day 3
The Final of the KCL is scheduled to take place on 7th February.
The Kabaddi Champions League Haryana (KCL Haryana) has been a blockbuster so far, with the first two days of the tournament delivering nothing but thrillers for the fans. The league witnessed its first tie-breaker on Monday, when Faridabad Fighters and Panipat Panthers could not be separated at the end of regulation time.
Panipat Panthers eventually won the contest convincingly in the tie-breaker. The league’s dynamics make it extremely exciting, as all eight teams are packed with quality players, including several who feature in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) and a few who are part of the Indian kabaddi team.
Day 3 of the tournament, however, saw relatively one-sided encounters, in contrast to the first two days. Most key players from all four teams were either rested or started on the bench, as they had just returned from the national team camp and were fatigued.
This created a perfect opportunity for teams to test their bench strength, and some squads made the most of it with impressive performances. Let’s take a look at the results from Day 3 of KCL Haryana 2026.
Results of Day 3
Sonipat Stars vs Karnal Kings
The first match of the day was played between Sonipat Stars and Karnal Kings. Sonipat rested their star players Ayan Lohchab and Navdeep Duhan, as both were part of the national team camp and were exhausted, which meant they did not feature in the starting seven.
Karnal Kings, on the other hand, also rested their captain, Sunil Malik, with Surender Gill leading the side in his absence. The match began with Karnal Kings completely dominating the proceedings. By halftime, they had built a comfortable 10-point lead, with the score reading 20–10.
In the second half, Sonipat Stars made a substitution and brought Ayan on to give him some game time. However, it proved to be too late, and he also didn’t look at his best. Karnal maintained their control and eventually handed Sonipat a comprehensive 35–21 defeat.
Gurugram Gurus vs Bhiwani Bulls
The second game of the day was also a one-sided affair. Gurus entered the match after benching their key player Neeraj Narwal to give him some rest. On the other hand, Bhiwani Bulls also chose to keep Devank Dalal out of the starting seven.
Bhiwani Bulls dominated the first half and went into the break with a commanding 10-point lead, with the scoreline reading 25–15. The Bulls also brought Devank Dalal on as a substitute, and he took the game by storm. Devank delivered a sensational performance, scoring a massive 26 raid points. It turned out to be a completely one-sided contest, with Bhiwani Bulls registering a comprehensive victory by a scoreline of 62–34.

Kabaddi is old, but not older than my love for it. I am still a rookie, but kabaddi is one thing I have been following passionately since my childhood. I don't miss any matches of the league and I regularly follow domestic and international tournaments as well.
